New England Modelers ME, NH, VT?

[Anonymous]

I'm just getting into the hobby and I have decided to do a New haven line. I grew up in Southern NH, went to school and lived in RI, and am now in Southern MA. I've decided to do a New Haven line, 1950's theme, because there seems to be a wide selection. I could also add providence-worcester, or boston-maine if I wanted to. : )

To dharmon: Yes, Safe Handling was/is using LLPX(Locomotive Leasing Partners LLC.) GP-15-1s to be exact. I have heard they have units 1500 through 1508, but don't hold me to it!!! I personally have only seen #s 1501 & 1507.

I model the MEC , in Bath ,Maine. I grew up in Bath , so I figured that would be appropriate for me. I model the Maine Central, and a newcomer , Safe Handling Rail Inc. , which is out of Rockland, Maine. They run the trackage that runs through Bath and the surrounding areas. Just remember..... Whatever works for you..........................works for you!!!!!!!!!

I was stationed at Brunswick twice. The last time the spur from Brunswick Jct to Augusta...never sure exactly who owned it ran through my back yard..literally in Topsham. I did ride the the MCL leaf train with the RS11 a couple of years ago.

Was Safe Handling using LLPX GP15s? The line behind our house was MDOT owned but as far as who was running it, I couldn't tell. They used leased GPs for power. Then it sat dormant for a long time, then someone started doing work on the line just before we left. I do rmember seeing the RS11 many years ago, in revenue service bringing cement cars from Rockland.

[;)][:)]I will run New Haven passenger / commuter trains (circa 1960s).

One of the counter guys at Happy Hobo Trains in Tampa actually owns a batch of HO scale streamlined, American Flyer type cars that NH used. They're in great condition and he's selling them. ( He's letting me have a first look before he sells them to anyone else). I will also be using Proto 1000 NH RDCs, which for the price are beautiful, smooth running units.

I just wish someone would make an EP5A in H.O! [:P][#dots][swg]

Anyone out there model NE railroads past or present? My RR is/will be a modern regional working the Maine Coast from Portsmouth, NH north to Canada, interchanging with MMA, GRS, and StL&A.
