Franklin & South Manchester

I earlier showed a larger scale yet highly detailed model railroad that I aspired to be as good as, but it's always nice to see someone in my preferred, smaller scale, HO, who can do it too. George Sellios is probably as good as John Allen was, if not even better in some ways, although since he didn't model the western mountain scenery but rather East Coast urban blight during the Great Depression with a bit of coal country northern Appalachians in between his big cities, I have to say that I kind of prefer Allen's work. That said, there is a lot to love about George Sellios and his urban blight railroad. He's one of the best modelers in railroading who's still active, so to speak (he actually retired his fine scale model business; I'm not sure if he's active in any other form or not. That said, his stuff is still out there.)

Here's a link to a lot of still imagery in, sadly, not super high resolution form. http://www.modvid.com.au/html/body_franklin___south_manchester_re.html

And here's a video tour of his railroad.
