White River Division

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.

Vette Fest 2017

As one can see I am only showing you my favorites...the oldies.

In Bayfield, Ontario the town I berth my sailboat hosts the annual Corvette festival. This happened on Saturday. I usually like to check these great machines out. If one thinks our hobby of trains is expensive check out what a Vette owner will pay to keep up or better yet restore his car. I talked to an owner of a 1960's vintage Vette who claimed to get his car back to almost new condition cost him $38,000 not including the price of the car....thinking Rapido GM engines might be dirt cheap at that rate. Oh on Sunday the Fords took over the park from this GM fleet for the Thunderbird festival...George Dutka
