I will make a point to visit the BRV this summer.  My family has a place on Long Lake in Bridgton on what used to be part of the Bridgton & Saco River RR narrow gage rail bed.

show me a spring scene


"Nice car.  Can I see your license and registration?"


"It's a nice day for a drive with the top down,


but I don't need a ticket."

Please show me more spring time scenes, or show me cars.

The plant manager was just elected president of the local garden club wants to beautify the plant grounds. she put Tonya in charge of planting some flowering trees. The men hope they don't have to plant flowers but won't mind as Tonya is in charge.

Please show landscaping or something in the agricultural field (no pun intended)

NC&StL 707 with NKP 765 

 

I got this at a trainshow in Atlanta today, it's an Atlas NC&StL GP7 and I took it next to the Bachmann Nickle Plate Road 765 that I had. Let me tell you converting this geep to DCC was a massive pain but it's done.

Just to keep things moving, another visit to the old piumpkin patch at Boothbay Railway Village (the tracks do run behind the patch, just visible to the left side)

Show me something to do with the lumber industry
