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.

George I just finished building this structure with two photos that I had, could have really used these photos. thanks for posting the various angles. John
Hi George Enjoyed today's Swanton mill pics! BTW, when viewed with my iphone, the daily comment text shows in WHITE on a very light GREY background. Odd. Pretty tough to read... Ok if you choose to view the Desktop version on the iphone though, then the bacgroun is a dark grey. Great pics!
Hi Eric: Thanks for the iphone update...will look into what I can do about the colouring at some point...planning at looking at my blog through my kids phones when they drop by...George
I'm following in the Whiteriverdivision footsteps slightly, having just also visited Gravenhurst. Upcoming post on Trackside Treasure. Had a nice chat with Peter at the Picton train show and he gave me some great news - a London Reclamation Yard post(s?) is getting closer!
