Hi guys and gals,

Some pics of recently completed scenery on the New Portland Branch. This advance includes all territory from the end of the big feed mill at New Sharon, all the way down the New Portland Branch to "Allen" and the mainline and passing siding at New Sharon.

I can't recall if photos of any of this were ever posted since the scenery was completed in stages. The passing siding at New Sharon was significantly lengthened maybe a year ago. It can now accomodate a 40-car freight and four units. 

Work progresses steadily on the TSR. While the railroad is set in the 1990's in New England, a friend stopped by with his steam engines to do some track testing. I find there is no better test of track reliability than running various steam engines with different wheel configerations. I am happy to report that we had only 1 minor derailment. Things are looking good.

Hi all ! ! !

Here is a video filmed on The White rock Southern & Ozon River R.R. in France. It is an american prototype layout layed with 7"1/4 tracks. It was the last run of this year on the layout and you will see in action a superb Baldwin prairie built by the owner Bernard ROCHE.

A great Day !
