Peabody Massachusetts is the home of Fine Scale Miniatures. This is the business of George Selios who manufacturers very highly detailed kits in limited quantities. His attention to detail is fabulous. In addition to his kit business he is also known for the construction of his Franklin and South Manchester model railroad, arguably the finest detailed model railroad in the world.
He spends about 9 months each year manufacturing his production run of kits and the remaining three months building his model railroad. He has been constructing his railroad for decades.
He hosted an open house for the attendees of the 2016 National Narrow Gauge Convention. His business and railroad are both located in a second floor walk-up on Main street in Peabody. I feel this is the "Louvre" of the model railroad world and was privileged to see his masterpiece.
The following images have tried to capture the wide variety of scenes located all over his layout.

| With luck you can park on the block in front of the door to the stairs u to his facility |
 |
| It takes a bit of exploring to find the correct entrance |
 |
| Steps lead to the second floor |
 |
| This directs you thru the entrance door |
 |
| When you enter you are in an aisle that takes you into the main display. There are small scenes along the entry aisle. |

| As you leave the main entry aisle the layout is before you |
The attention to detail is insane. I can see why you wanted to see this. The weathering of the buildings is so well done, bet he used a whole gallon of eye shadow. :) Really beautiful, thanks for sharing.
