Frank, 
Can't sing like Stewart or model like Sellios, plus they've both got me beat in the hair department - very depressing.

Mr. Policastro should be commended on his modeling skills, as I have noted some of his work here on this forum; however, I do not think any reasonable person would confuse him with the Great Man himself, George Sellios. As for Frank53, since he has so liberally borrowed from George Sellios’ genius in the past, I can understand how there could be some confusion.
This is all I can see of the picture. So I guess it will remain unknown to me as to the ID of these two great modlers.

I had someone make a comment about something I did looking like it was inspired by George Sellios, which I guess is a complement. Unfortunately, or fortunately, I've never seen his work, nor have I referenced it.
You've really been missing out, Frank. I have all of his work (Print or e-pictures) that I could get my hands on. He inspired me to get into this hobby. I dabbled in it before, but he lit the fire that has never extinquished.
Truly a master.
Yeah...but can Sellios sing "Maggie May"?

GREAT THREAD!!!
I SAW HIM IN CONCERT A FEW TEARS BACK HE IS AMAZING IF YOU GET THE CHANCE GO SEE HIM
STEVE
Very cool!
George Sellios opened my eyes in taking M.R.R. up to another level both in H.O and later being applied to O.
Thanks for the post Don!
I love it. Rod had to be practically dragged out so as not to be late for his concert. Thanks for posting.
I saw Rod in concert some years ago when I lived in the Norfolk area. Simply great!
I have followed George's splendid modeling for many years as well. Also simply great!
Quite an illustrious combo!
I have seen George's layout in person. That should be on every serious modeler's bucket list!
Very nice pictures.
Interesting how the reporter refers to it as a train set.

I think Selios over-weathers things to the point of caricature.
To see George Sellios' work up close and personal, check out these two Allen Keller Great Model Railroads videos:
The Franklin & South Manchester, Part 1 (DVD)
The Franklin & South Manchester, Part 2 (Available on VHS only)
I guarantee that you have NEVER seen detail like George does it. While he models in HO scale, the ideas you will see on his railroad can be applied to any scale.

You certainly have a right to your opinion.
