Aw cmon Dana, you must admit that jacking and lining is way more fun than laying track.

Museum Discussion / 1910 Days/Old Steamshovels
« on: August 22, 2008, 09:44:47 PM »
Steve,
I can ask but the guy is a contractor who over the years has amassed a huge collection of "old stuff" like machinery and toys like the shovel. He actually created a multi-floored museum to house all this stuff and each of the floors is a "for hire" banquet facility. That being said, I'm rather doubtful he'd part with it but there's no harm in asking.

Dana,
I do believe I've seen bits and pieces of a unit close to that vintage at a contractor's yard in my area. I doubt he'd part with it and if he did it possibly could be in a condition that would preclude rehab. But..........

Oliver,
May I suggest you return to the WW&F website and contact James Patten. He is the contact person for the museum. He can advise you better than I about answers to your questions.

Great shots guys. For those of us who couldn't make it to the picnic we still are able to share in some of the ambiance that was created. Thanks again.

Steve,
Great shot of coach 11. It looks great standing next to the platform all shiney and painted up like that. Joe is correct about how nice the combination of #7 and coach 11 would look.

Mike,
For those of us who are from away, give a bit of lead time to a trip so we can make plans. Any idea yet when you'd like to do another? You mentioned the month of August looks to be a no go. Some time in September maybe?

Mike,
Those are very nice pictures. I was in Bridgton last week and took almost the same pictures. Yes, those of us who like the B&H are quite thrilled to be able to look at a piece of rolling stock almost on the original grade. Thanks for sharing the photos for all to see.
