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.

B&O "Wagontop" Covered Hopper

A B&O wagontop which has been nicely weathered by Bob Bowes. All I had to do was clip the trip pin on the Kadee couplers. A really nice car once offered by West Shore Line.

Back last fall I picked up a few kits that were completely by Bob Bowes. They were from the estate of one of my modeling friends Mike Yurek. This one a is a West Shore Line kit offered years ago by Central Hobby Supply in Syracuse NY. They had a really nice line of kits back in the 1990's. I did purchase a couple back then that I surprisingly built considering I have a large pile of unbuilt kits...George Dutka

The other side of the covered hopper.

In service and on the move on the WRD.

They are great kits and I miss Central Hobby Supply. It was a must visit stop on each visit to Syracuse.
