My friend John asked me about the B&M troop sleeper. He purchased a kit with brass etching sides and the car it fits on. He was wondering if anyone has views or plans of the underbody details. I used a Walthers model for mine B&M car and did not change any of the underbody details. Don Janes did the same. Does anyone have any information regarding this car. I do have plans for the sides and ends I purchased decades ago while in New England...George Dutka
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 19th 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 extra posts by Don Janes and Keith MacCauley.
