E. L. Moore's Machine Shop on The Franklin & South Manchester

Snipped from a much larger photo in the Nov '86 issue of RMC.

There's an excellent photo essay by Steve Sint in the Nov '86 issue of Railroad Model Craftsman on George Sellios' famous Franklin & South Manchester Railroad. Buried off to the corner in one of the photos on page 71 is our old friend the E. L. Moore designed Machine Shop squeezed between two taller buildings. The roof is a little different, but the walls make it clear what building this is. This little building seems to be popping up on some of the largest layouts. Hopefully there're still surprises ahead.

  1. It's those offset windows. Gives it away every time. If a modeller were to ever chop that wall and isolate the higher window segments from the lower, it would be a lot harder to spot.
