Discussion group and online presence for Marty McGuirk's Southern New England Railway – an HO scale proto-freelanced railroad set in the 1950s based in part on the ill-fated "Titanic Railroad" and the real Central Vermont Ry. Subscribe for updates and progress reports on the SNE, as well as information on model railroad design and construction. Locomotives, rolling stock and structure modeling are also discussed.

Information on upcoming open houses and operating sessions will also be posted here.

Files and photo sections will be used to provide a look at current modeling projects as well as earlier versions of HO scale New England railroad. And, since the Central Vermont is my favorite railroad, there's a fair amount of prototype CV information discussed here as well!

Southbridge, Mass., would have been an important point along the proposed SNE. Here's an aerial view of the town, circa 1916 - just about the time SNE construction was going on. The large American Optical plant (with the old tower) dominates the photo.
