Maine Barn

A nice Maine farm setting that is something that needs to be modeled.

While Don Janes and I traveled around Maine during the Augusta National Narrow Gauge show we came across a few structures of interest. Mainly things that might be modeled at some point...here is a barn along our way...George Dutka

The barn was part way hidden by a stand of trees on Sept 8, 2016. Modeling structures not all has to be in view.

Wiscasset Crossing

 

As one can see there are two station with a platform that connects both lines. The ball signals are seen between the two stations next to the platform. Not sure who operated the balls or if both stations had their own staff on duty most of the day.

A view of both the WW&F and MEC in Wiscasset, Maine. For most Maine two footer this is a scene one loves to model...George Dutka
