Collinsville 2014


Earlier this month Kip Grant sent a group of us a photo he took 10 years ago at the Collinsville RPM in 2014. We were all chatting model railroad stuff when Kip decided to snap a photo. In the photo are from left to right, me, Don Janes, Neil Scholfield, Mike Confalone sitting and Wayne Sittner.

Don and I  stopped in a couple of day before at Wayne's to view his wonderful layout which has been featured in the modeling press over the years. Wayne is an artist and it really shows on his layout. I don't recall if we covered that visit but will have to see what views I took that day.

Thought you would like to know a bit more about the MEC model seen a couple of weeks back. My friend, also good friend's with Peter Mumby and Don Janes, Luc Sabourin commented on the MEC boxcars model. The model was once Luc's and inspired by the Peter Mumby's photo. Luc had Mike Confalone who is viewed above and models the Allagash Railroad weathered and repainted the cars bottom. A really nice job...George Dutka   

Peter Mumby brought over some of his New England models for our photo session in 2013. This car was originally done for Luc by Mike.
