They take their train passion seriously up in Maine

Yep just back from a trip from Maine and found some really neat tourist lines and here is another in Wiscasset where they usually run a narrow gauge Forney but due to a wedding that weekend between 2 of the volunteers they were operating with a limited crew so a small diesel was employed to run tourists around. A shame to have missed the Forney but we were treated to a really rare rail car. The operator said there are only 3 left and the other 2 are “captured” in museums. This one had the jack system to turn it around. Pretty neat! I WANT ONE for my RR.

Another thing to note how passionate they are about their RR’s in Maine is this roof on a house located next to the Wiscasset line. Alot of thought and work went into that.

Great Pictures

I love the main 2 footers and wouldnt mind doing something along those ends. Eric Shad on the other site based his layout off of the main two footers. Here is a video he did that mixes his live steam layout with the real deal. His live steamer is scratch built a based off the main forney as well as his passanger cars etc… Check the links and see his other videos. Really good stuff.
