Welcome, follow along with George Dutka in his journal which documents the additions and future thoughts for the HO scale White River Division model railroad and to his continuing historical New England railroad research. The White River Division is now in its 17th modeler's season. The "modeler's season" runs from November to April each year. Inspiration comes from the Boston and Maine, Rutland and Central Vermont Railway during the 1950's with additional posts by Don Janes and Peter Mumby.

Another scanned slide from 1989. This was a 12 foot diorama that I operated on back then. I don't have the engine or caboose anymore but the two woodchip cars I do have. |

Ready for service. |
I changed out the trucks with Andrews by Tichy. Wheels were painted cinnamon brown and the trucks Vallejo rust texture. The roof got a coat of acrylic dark gray wash followed by some PanPastel powders over the gray. The side walls are done lightly with a very dark gray PanPastel, mainly on the door, lower sides of the cars and the ribs...George Dutka

These three shades of PanPastels are what I applied to the car. I did use a Macron pen to add a few rust spots on the rood and lower sides. |
