Franklin & South Manchester and Fine Scale Miniatures realization

I can’t believe, after reading MR off an on for 15 years or so, I just realized yesterday that the initials of both George Selios’ model railroad and his model company are FSM.

Silly me!

Man, you are SLOW. [;)] [(-D]

Oh yeah, in case you didn’t know this one either, the Kalmbach employee’s club layout is the Milwaukee, Racine & Troy - which is the same initials as Model Railroader and Trains.
[:O][:O][:O][:O][:O][:D][;)]

No kidding man, wow.

I won’t be winning any MRR"ing Jeopardy at this pace. Jeeez!

Clever of George Selios. That guy has a dream job, doesn’t he? Career feeds his hobby feeds his career feeds his hobby…

That must be awesome.

I did know about the MR&T (only because they said that’s exactly what they were doing in an article from the late 80’s.)

You’re not alone. I just realized this a couple weeks ago myself!

(And I’ve been in the hobby longer than FSM has been a business.)

Think how I feel, I just found this out by reading your post!

I guess that’s how he can afford all those details for his great layout. He probably gets an employee discount! [:D]

Speaking of slow, the logging railroad that connects to my Santa Fe East Texas Subdivision at the town of Johnston is the Johnston and East Texas. As a logging line, it is slow, even though its initials are J.E.T.
