- . A walk thru tour in 4k HD of The Franklin and South Manchester world famous HO scale railroad built by George Sellios. George is the owner of Fine Scale Miniatures who made limited edition kits which are highly sought after by both collectors and model railroader's like me that love to build them and feature them on our layouts. His kits build into some of the most incredible scenes imaginable and many of them if properly built can win major contest. His directions are easy to follow and can turn a novice into an incredible model builder because so much is learned and taught to the modeler in his directions. If you take your time and follow the directions you will be amazed at how much you will learn and will want to build more! George is retired now but his past kits can be found at train shows or EBay frequently for sale under the search (Fine Scale Miniature kits for sale.) I am also available to custom build these kits for you or I can purchase them for you if you would like since we have some for sale from time to time. Inquire at alpug1@verizon.net. You can see many of his kits on my channel built under the short video section Fine Scale miniatures shorts. You will also see many already built on videos of my model railroad on this channel.
Clearly George Sellios and Howard Zane belong on the "Mount Rushmore of Model Railroading" with John Allen. There are others, I'm sure fellow modellers would like to nominate, but that would be a long & open debate....lol. These guys have pushed the envelope to a point, that the rest of us aspire to !!!!! Thanks for posting Al.
Word’s just don’t do this layout justice. This must’ve been a real treat for you. Thanks for filming it for us.
Thanks for watching more post coming
This one and Howard Zane’s are the two most unreal, aloha
The attention to detail on the FS&M is absolutely incredible! The more I watch videos and see pictures the more in awe I am of Mr Sellios's work.
Wow, thank you!
I can not fathom the amount of talent it takes to do this, nor can I fathom who could possibly have the time or money to build something like this. I remember seeing this layout and that of John Allen in railroad magazines when I was younger. That does not even consider the effort it takes to maintain it and keep it running. WOW
Wow..
What a fantastic layout,very beautiful. Thanks for filming. Greetings from the Netherlands.
Thank you very much!
Hey folks wait until the 4K HD upload is completed an about an hour. You can hit the settings cog and view in HD. If you dont see the red HD icon tune back in a little later once the HD upload is complete. Once this is done the color and clarity will be light years better. If you view it freshly posted it will look grainy. Thanks
I doubt it was intentional as I understand you have move along as there are other visitors. But this one view you captured at 13:13 looks fantastic. It's almost like looking at an old NYC as the scene continues and continues through to the backdrop. Though I know that they are two separate cities in that view (South Manchester and Fillmore / Fillmore Yard).
George's layout is mind-boggling!
Thank you for filming this amazing layout. I think I have watched this video 10 times over already lol and counting. George is such a talent and his layout is a pure delight and inspiration. I just noticed that at about 11:53 if you pause the video you will see Batman and Robin standing on top of the TWS building with the large yellow billboard. I enjoy finding "easter eggs" like that in layouts! I plan on adding a couple myself. Thank you so much again Al for sharing this video.
Thanks for watching and ive got 1 more I will post this weekend. Fine Scale Miniatures kits part 2 on the layout plus im going to talk more about the Fine Scale kits
Just checking the videos now.
Not that I'm surprised....but everything is fantastic. George is my #1 modeling hero and inspiration. Happy you took some "slow views" of different areas (...I didn't think it was that fast).
Glad you had a great time and thank you for uploading these videos.
Thanks
It is still sooo amazing.
Thank you 😊 a great video of the masters layout you did capture things I have not seen as yet ,I live in Australia and my little daughter of 3 has just turned to me and said”I will take you there one day daddy “I can only hope she does 🥰🥰❤️🥲😁👍
Thanks so much more posts later today
It’s a toss up between this and Howard’s as being the best layouts in the world 🌎
