The WW&F Ry. group noted on their Facebook page they are taking the head end of No. 10 to Springfield this January. Check them out at their booth...George Dutka 

Track Added

Yesterday I added the yard track I had to remove when I cut down the width of the module. The track is cut shorter to fit the scene. I have it laid in position at the moment. Now to cut in the roadbed and install. Snow day here in Southwestern Ontario today so not out of the house other than to shovel snow. Lots of modeling might happen once I get away from the computer...George Dutka

On30" Module

Well I got the Christmas decorations down and stored so now to do some modeling. I brought in from the garage Peter's module that I cut down and added some plaster cloth to the rough cut edges. While I wait for it to dry I am pulling out the track piece that needs to be added to the spur and ballast for the tracks. I have to get the electrical hooked up again to a transformer before mounting it on the wall. Lot easy on this rolling bench to just flip it over...George Dutka

SR&RL Railcars

A posed photo of the railcars at Farmington, Maine during a 10-1937 visit. Not sure how much equipment he saw that day. Note the tracks have all been removed.

A photo I scanned recently from a group I purchased at Springfield last winter...George Dutka

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."
