About a year ago I started a Facebook Group dedicated to construction of my layout and sharing photos as I went, but unfortunately I haven't been posting much on the MRH forum. I'd like to continue sharing the layout construction on the MRH website, a page dedicated solely to Model Railroading/Prototype Railroading. A little background, since my early teens, I’ve been fascinated by railroad operations along the Connecticut River in Vermont, locally known as the Conn River Line. The combination of three railroads including the Boston & Maine, CP Rail, and Central Vermont sharing the same trackage provided colorful variety, particularly in the 1970's into the 80's. My earliest attempts to recreate these operations in model form happened when I occasionally took over my father’s steam era HO layout with original Athearn GP-9’s painted in both B&M and CV. For that, I’m forever grateful and fortunate to share the hobby with my father, Ray Schofield. Thanks Dad! Well, fast forward 30 years and two layouts later, I’ve finally had an opportunity to recreate those teenage memories on a layout of my own. My interest in the Conn River Line remained, but I’ve narrowed those operations down to the CP Rail’s Newport and Lyndonville Subdivision in Vermont’s Northeast Kingdown. While this eliminated CV's through train operations and shared trackage that run south of White River Junction, it still allowed me to include B&M run through power and also the possibility of CV operations on the Richford Branch, which interchanged with CP Rail at Richford, VT. I'm continuing this blog to share my experience building the layout to date as well as share photos related to railroad operations across Vermont. I like the idea of sharing photos and ideas rather than a discussion platform, simply because my time to devote to the hobby is limited and I'd rather spend it building. My first post will be some recent construction on a section of layout representing a high bridge across the Missisquoi River in North Troy, VT. 📷 https://model-railroad-hobbyist.com/sites/model-railroad-hobbyist.com/files/20210627_103336.jpg" target="_blank"> 📷 Moderator: Moved the linked images in-line.
