Merry Christmas 2025!

Peter Mumby and I painted and detailed this engine a number of years ago. After Peter's passing earlier this year W&Q No. 1 is now at home on my modules which carries the same name.

Hope you all have a great holiday season and you find something narrow gauge under your Christmas tree this year...George Dutka

On30" storage Boxcar

Wayne modeled the doors open so he could add more details to the interior.

Back in November our local NMRA group had a build along where members brought along some models to display. This tiny O scale boxcar is scratch-built by Wayne Wessner. I thought he did a very nice job...George Dutka

Wayne has added some nice looking details to his scene.

Christmas on The WW&F

Jim Dufour passed along this wonderful link to a Christmas video from the WW&F which strikes a pair of nostalgic notes...Two Footer steam in the snow and "A Charlie Brown Christmas."

SR&RL No. 21

 

SR&RL No. 21, no other details on the photo. Three boxcars and a combine on this train. First boxcar is 105. I picked this one also at the Springfield train show last winter at one of the Maine two-footer booths. There was a lot of interesting photos to view there.

This is one of the photos I purchased at the last Springfield train show...enjoy...George Dutka

This comment was posted in a Maine On2 yahoo group that may help one regarding this photos.

The short tender is from Forney No. 9, the longer tender is from No. 18. Number 9's tender wasn't used as a water car or something, this photo was simply taken while scrapping of the locomotives was in progress. Number 9 is in pieces while scrapping is ongoing.

NMRA Division Meet Sarnia

Simon Elbourne is the WOD modeler that built the diorama.

Our NMRA Western Ontario Division gathered in Sarnia for a day of make and take modeling. We had a number of displays with a couple in O scale and a On30" traveling display. Here are a few views of it...George Dutka
