June 2025 - Update

I am building an O scale flag stop which was on the Sandy River 2 foot gauge line up in Maine. I am using leftovers I have from other projects. More on this structure is found on my narrow gauge blog.

A bit of modeling happening lately as I am building two flag stops to add to my collection. There might be a RMC article in there somewhere. 

This weeks Wordless Wednesday is a print I scanned of a visit I made to Essex Jct. Vermont in 1994. I caught the St. Albans local working the industries there before it headed to Burlington, Vt. on the branch...George Dutka 

GT 2-8-2 no. 3432 at Danville Jct., no date. This is a Phil Hasting view from the Bob Bowes Collection.

I don't have many color views of the Amherst Ma. station but the trim was at one time green. I used chalkboard green from the dollar store for this. The windows are a cream color but I don't know the door colors. This is an ITLA kit of the CV station.

Couple of weekends ago I was at St. Thomas, working the NMRA-WOD craftsman corner workshop booth. I began working on a BEST flagstop kit.

The kit is very basic and went together quickly making a nice model. The kit also had a bench and supports.

Last week this view of the NH south Boston yard had the wrong date applied on it when posted. I have corrected it. It should read 1969.
