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 Junction - Coal Tower Scene
It is well beyond the steam era in this view on the WRD. A pair of geep's are ready to go on another run over the layout. This is from a group of photos that were staged for a MR article sent in 3 years ago. This view was not included with the article...waiting patiently for what becomes of the feature...George Dutka
Unfortunaely, Kalmbach losing manuscripts, photos, etc isn't unusual. What I infer from what I hear is that if they want a submission, they pay for it quickly, but there's no guarantee it will appear anytime soon. I've had success writing to the CEO of Kalmbach (whoever that is at this point) and asking for return of MS or acknowledgement that they can't use it. At that point, you can send it elsewhere, although I've also had bad experiences with MRH and RMC pre-White River, though I've never been impressed with Otto V.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your input John. I probably will just wait and see...maybe an e-mail to them in a year or two...George
