South China and Sheepscot Railroad
The Albion station on Bob Bennett's On30" layout. |
I believe Bob set his SC&SR beyond the life of most 2 footer's. I think the layout brochure mentioned the 1950's. |
As one can see there was a lineup most of the afternoon. |
Many smaller details are found all around the layout. Sorry about the depth of field as the photos are taken hand held with many needing my flash. |
The waterfront area. |
Strong was the forefront of the viewing area of the SC&SR. |

Restored Maine Two Footers
This car on an October 2017 visit looks like new. No numbering yet though. |
I did not get a full shot of the flat as the yard was being switched during my short visit and my focus was everything but. One can see the end of the flat car looks in pretty good shape also. |

New Engine - Train Show Find
My latest On30 find. |
Well for $15 it was a bargain and I took a chance. I could not get the DCC to work but when removed the engine ran fine in DC mode. Now to pull the details off and repaint...George Dutka

Portland, Maine Visit
The consist is now assembled with enough coaches to handle a bus load of passenger that was to arrive shortly. |
The switcher pulled out the Forney for some time in the sun before grabbing its train and spotting up. |
Looking down to the engine shed. |
As we walked the ROW the little engine switched the yard, then pulled it's train down for boarding. Our dog did not seem to be interested at all. |
Before we left for the shops down the road the narrow gauge train pulled up to the end of track near were the cruise ships dock to pick up a bus load of passengers. |

This could be an up in Maine view of my drop in diorama of Red's Eats along the WRD. |
A look at my model with the photo from Railfan which I used for the sign and awning...just a colour photocopy was applied. |
