An HOn30 model railroad depicting the Monson RR, a six-mile-long "two-footer" that operated from 1883 to 1943 in Piscataquis County, Maine. The layout was born as a freelanced, Monson-inspired granite-hauling railroad set in coastal Maine, and is now being redesigned to follow the prototype as closely as possible in a limited space.

Work caboose
Here's a second caboose for my roster - a Mount Blue Model Co. kit for a SR&RL work caboose. It will be #11 on my roster, although for now I'm leaving it unlettered - like the prototype, apparently. It makes a good complement to caboose 10.

Let's see, where was I...
It’s been nearly a year since I last posted anything here,
mostly because I haven’t been able to do much modeling due to work, house
repairs, the kids' activities, etc. I’m
slowly getting back to the bench, though, and should be posting more in
the near future. On my list for the next
few months are finishing the freight house, building a station and several
freight car kits I picked up from Mt. Blue at the recent Springfield show, installing
the turntable, starting the scenery, and finishing the road’s first locomotive and
passenger car. Lots to do - stay tuned!
