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.

Athearn produced a 3 car set of Nickel Plate cars which I purchased in part due to the 'mistake' they replicated. One of the cars was painted 'Nickel Road Plate', and was based on an actual prototype error. One letter I can understand, but a whole word?
RBXO!
