Franklin & South Manchester Layout Tour 2021 Part 1

[@avgjoegeek71]

The amount of time, talent, and effort that went into this layout is just insane. You could stay there for hours and still miss some little detail. Something that was happening in the town. I really loved everything about it - so consistently done throughout the entire build as well. And... of course it has Prince Albert in a Can advertisements. This is definitely up there in terms of my favorite layouts I've seen in my lifetime :)

Couldn't agree more!

[@troystaten5633]

I think this is the most amazing model railroad layout of all time.

[@stevehasler8922]

I have to agree. I've gone down many train layout rabbit holes on KZbin; none interests me more. Bravo.

[@oldman9642]

God, I wish the photographer would zoom in closer to some of those set pieces. The attention to detail is amazing. I could watch for hours. Don’t even care about the trains running.

[@bobs3354]

Yes, I’d really like to see more close-up detail.

[@JohnnySoundSTL]

The best I've ever seen. Hopefully it will be preserved and maintained after the builder is gone.

[@donnlowe9129]

Is this railroad Empire in the vicinity of New Haven Connecticut? This is one of the most highly detailed and beautiful layouts I have ever seen.

[@NewHavenRails]

This layout is located in Peabody Massachusetts. If you look at the Fine Scale Miniatures Facebook page. There is always information on it. There is currently an open house scheduled for 1/27/23. I have visited this layout twice and if you haven’t seen it in person, I highly recommend it!

Lol....you're ALWAYS going to miss stuff on this fantastic layout! It's amazing. I've been following since it's inception (...or since it became "known") and I still ALWAYS see something new. Incredibly detailed and a beautiful work of art. And it truly is a work of art!
