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.

White River Division- Update
The layout got some additional work also. The cloth contours are on and painted. The ground goop still needs to be applied. I built a wooden overpass that will hide the hole through the wall to Bellows Falls. This I built using plans I found of a B&M prototype about a week ago. I will fill you in once the scene is done....till then...George Dutka
Looking real good George! Is the bridge stripwood? What sort of finish? Looks especially nice. Of course the yard office looks amazing too - nice peeling boards!
ReplyDeleteHi Chris, thanks. The main supports and railings are made up of mostly leftovers that I had from my BEST country store kit. There was a lot of support material left. The decking I had to use up some stip-wood I had on hand. Hunterline weathering mix is my go to for most unfinished wood. Plan to cover the bridge once the scene is complete...George
