[PRR-talk] Off Subj.: Franklin Institute

[BPX29 at aol.com]

Evan & Folks,
I remember that layout well enough and have a few slides around here  
somewhere from the 1970's. If I recall correctly, the scenery was quite well  done 
and the overall display was very attractive.
 
Something not as well remembered about the Franklin Institute crossed my  
mind just the other day. Back in the 1950's when I was a school kid,  the  
institute had a series of 'shadow box'-like displays of PA industries and  
commercial activities. The scale had to be HO and the various modeled sites  included 
waterfront scenes, mines, factories and mills, farms, etc. None of them  were 
overly large, perhaps in the order of 3 by four feet or so (hard to tell 50  
years later) but they left a lasting impression on me.  I wonder if anyone  else 
recalls these? If so, please share whatever info you might have.
Thanks and regards,
Barry Peltier
