Bridgton, Maine - A New Diner in Town

This combine was sold in May 1937 and became a diner.
I was flipping through my Bob Jones book about the B&SR Ry. the other day. I came across this photo of a diner made from an old narrow gauge coach. I thought this could make a great modeling project. If one has a part coach or one that is damaged and may not get onto the layout again it could be turned into an interesting diner. Peter Mumby had one damaged in On30" that I tried to sell for him at a couple of shows. I might just get this one from him for such a project...George Dutka  

This was B&H combine no. 25 which was moved to Upper Depot Street in Bridgton, Maine. Peter Cornwall Photos.

    1. Hi Ben
      I guess one needs to visit the town to actually find out, but I doubt it, this was the late 1930's.

  3. Thanks. I looked online and don't see it. That must have been a really tight fit inside!
