Sandy River & Rangeley Lakes Railroad / Re: Pony Plows on the SR&RL

« on: December 21, 2010, 01:37:03 PM »

I think it was on the last page or so of the Kingfield & Dead River chapter. I have the original Howell-North 1959 edition, with original maps!

Is this going to be happening next year? I don't think I can go.

I might be attending. The WW&F might be a little to far though...

I have seen #24 with a wedge plow in Maine Two-Footers.

I really think that for a line with few coaches, it would be more realistic to just couple on some boxcars in front of the coaches, just for realism.

I don't believe I've ever seen #10 without a pony plow. Maybe once.

I do think that there are blueprints for Sandy River #9, and I think there's a technical drawing (Not sure if it's a blueprint) of #24 in Maine Two-footers.

I happen to know Bob Troup, the webmaster over in Phillips.

The Original W&Q and WW&F: 1894-1933 / Electric Headlights

« on: November 17, 2010, 10:44:24 AM »

When did the WW&F equip electric headlights? I'd like to model the WW&F in Trainz or Microsoft Train Simulator, and I need to know the date that they were fitted.

Museum Discussion / Mixed Trains?

Does the WW&F museum ever run mixed trains? The original WW&F ran a lot of mixed trains, (as did all the two-footers). Besides, the museum doesn't appear to have too much passenger equipment.

I agree, I don't like it when tourist lines put diamond stacks on engines that never had them. Like when the D&RGW put diamond stacks and big oil headlights on their K-28's in the '50's and '60's. I do like diamond stacks on engines that were actually built in the woodburning era.

I think Moody's Maine Two Footers has one, but since mine's from the library, it's been removed.

Wow! It really looks great! I always loved the WW&F boxcars because they have their ladders on the opposite side of the other lines. That just made them unique. Did the WW&F flatcars have anything that really distinguished them from the other Maine Narrow Gauge line's?

Yes, I have that book, but I need #9 and #21 with electric headlights.
