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.

Adding a Wreck to a Scene

Looking at how the garage roof looks now...thinking it might land up on the workbench for a better supported roof. I built this structure maybe a decade ago and at that time I did not brace things as well as I do now. Close up photos really gives one a chance to judge ones work.

Found a spot on the layout for my wreck...who knows...they guys may fix it...George Dutka

George,
The addition of the "wreck" to the scene works nicely. As for the building's sagging roof: supported, straight roofs seem to be the norm on layouts. Why not a sagging roof if the situation warrants it? This scene almost begs for a less-than-square building and roofline.

I've enjoyed and taken inspiration from your blog since discovering it a few months ago (and since taking those slow, initial steps into the hobby, hoping to model northern New England as well).
