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&M Caboose

B&M 104295 is seen on July 27, 1955. It looks quite clean for an older caboose. Possibly recently repainted.

I thought I would share this view with you of a nice looking wooden B&M caboose. I don't recall where I got it from. If you are modeling New England in the 1950's a model of this one might work well on your layout. I believe it was once offered in brass...George Dutka

Don Valentine (New England States Limited) imported the B&M long cabooses, both the wide cupola version as shown and the narrow one. So did Sunset Models (I believe).
