Covered Water Tank Kit
A new O scale model for the W&Q Ry.
I am planning on adding a covered water tower to my W&Q Ry. module this winter. Portland Locomotive Works has such a model available now and I am hoping to pick one up this year at the Model Railroad Expo being held in Massachusetts in a few weeks...will cover this kit when I get back...George Dutka

Narrow Gauge Interchanging
Trevor Marshall passed along the following Maine two foot interchange details...thanks Trevor...George Dutka.
" Hi George: Great looking section house! To answer your question, the Monson RR connected with the Bangor & Aroostook. The SR&RL, the B&SR, and the WW&F connected with the MEC. The Kennebec Central had no direct connection with a standard gauge road. "

MEC Interchange - Section House
This is a great little model that takes no room at all on any layout. Mine will be added to my HOn30 C&Q Ry. interchange. |
Adding a section house to your interchange
All the Maine two footers interchanged with the MEC I believe. I build a MEC section house a couple of years ago and now plan to add it to my HOn30" C&Q Ry. - MEC interchange yard. Creative Laser Design offers this structure which is an easy build. I purchased the kit at the 2011 Model Railroad Expo held in Peabody, Mass. I have done a write up on how the construction of my kit went on my White River Division blog. There is a link below to the site if you want a better look at it...George Dutka

The interior of this structure can be seen next to the section house. Additional photos can be found on my White River Division blog. |

Sandy River Baggage Tag
I don't recall were I got this photo of a Maine narrow gauge baggage tag...I am thinking it was part of my friend's the late Jim McFarlane collection that was sold a few years back....George Dutka

Adding Evergreen Trees to the W&Q Ry.
There are three style of dollar store Christmas trees seen in this photo. |
I used a few of my trees as foreground models. |
The two larger trees are both dollar store finds. The smaller evergreens to the left are N scale models that got the same treatment and look fine mixed in with the larger trees near the background. |
Here we see a few different dollar store trees. The smaller one at right came two to a package. If you look closely the green ground foam does vary from application to application. |
