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&M Hopper - Bill Moore
I thought this hopper was nicely done. I asked Bill a bit about it and if he weathered it. Bill is still old school and uses Floquil and an air brush for weathering and painting most of his rolling stock. I believe this car is a stock Athearn model that he painted Floquil weathered black with some extra white to fade the black a bit. To get the seams darker he just lightly air brushed weathered black on the rib joints. I think is looks really good...George Dutka
