Where were you in 1977? Well I was in a small town called Boscawen NH watching with great interest a RR that had blue engines and a cool logo I learned later on was called a MGinnis. While the rest of the country was listening to the "Bay City Rollers" on their Hi-Fi 8 tracks or watching Roger Mudd of NBC discuss the latest politics from the Carter White House, I was busy watching the Boston and Maine. 1977 is not the most glamourous era of the B&M. The maroon and gold E units and silver passenger cars were long gone, pasenger stations like the grand two story station in Concord were now shopping centers. But it is the era I remember. To that end, here is the start of my small contribution to NH in the late 1970's. Stay tuned as I will post updates on my layout as they happen. The only rule I have on my layout is NO GUILFORDmg: Jim
I'll post progress of the B&M Saucier Division if you can wait 6-9 months. The B&M Saucier Div. will be set north of Woodsville into Quebec, and/or south of Springfield to the MS Gulf Coast, all at the same time. Or as Peter Pan said..."West of Never!" At my age, my imagination is the only thing that runs WILD! :angel:
8 tracks in 1977? Well, yes. But quickly dying out. Cassettes had won that contest. :teeth: Keep the progress pictures coming! Boxcab E50
Cool! Do you have a track plan available? I want to model B&M, CV, NH, D&H on my soon to begin N scale layout.
