Okay, more like, mid- late January progress report. I've actually been doing a decent job of keeping my blog ( ( www.centralvermontrailway.blogspot.com )Â up...
Hello all, My good friend, fellow CV modeler and Manassas resident John Paganoni sent me the attached photos of his recently completed HO scale New London...
Hello all, Â See attached photo showing the rough scenery rework I've been doing on my peninsula (basically I replaced a planned very busy "mill stream" scene...
Marty, Does it really need to be a rail-served industry? I'd say change the proposed creamery to a small, old general store (we have a small place DOUG'S,...
Well you could do a lumber yard, then there could be loads to a spur or team track in the town. A feed mill likely would be on the rails. A nice barn would go...
Norm, Good suggestions, but I'd prefer it to be a small rail served industry. Another possibility I neglected to mention was a small bottled gas (propane)...
Phil, If I include a barn I think it will be up on the hill towards the back of the pasture - it may be an N scale barn so it doesn't overwhelm the scene. ...
Marty,I would opt for a creamery,a coal dealer or farm supply.Armand Premo ... From: Marty McGuirk To: SNE RY Sent: Wednesday, April 04, 2012 11:13 AM Subject:...
Hi Marty; Anything located outside Waterbury on the prototype? It seems the area is too small for most manufacturing that would actually require rail service....
There was a Plywood Manufacturing plant (which I think would be too dominating in this space) and a Whiting Creamery located outside Waterbury proper. As you...
It it were Maine, I would say a pulp wood yard. I dont know whether they had them in Vermont. I am putting at least one on my Carolina Eastern layout, way...
Marty, I suggest either a gravel pit or an elevated wooden ramp to allow trucks to dump gravel (from an off-site pit) into gons and hoppers. Dan Reagan To:...
" How about a cheese company? It's milk related, but different." Problem is that most cheese was made "far away" from areas served by train; the railroad gave...
I think a low profile building like the FSM # 225 Sewell's Foundry complex would add some interest , fit nicely in that area, and generate some other type of...
What about a LCL freight house, constructed of wood, or stone (not brick). It could be long & low, and allow for several types of cars to stop... R/, Norm N....
what about a freight house? Can be multiple parts, where a couple of businesses drop varying cars off. An LCL facility? Wood or Stone? Norm ... -- Norman...
Marty,Just how much room do you have there?Armand Premo ... From: Norman Wolf To: SNE_RY@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, April 05, 2012 7:58 AM Subject: Re:...
Tom, Thanks for the suggestion. Although I admire George's layout - and his ability to keep a model railroad manufacturing business going for 40+ years - I'm...
Norm, Stone would be least likely material for a New England freight house to be constructed (wood, then brick, would be far more likely). Freighthouses also...
Armand, I need to measure it tonight - but I think its about 24" long x 8" between the edge of the road and the track. Mike Confalone suggested a small feed...

How about a stone yard? There's a great prototype on VT Rt 12, between Northfield and Montpelier, called "Riverton Memorial, Inc". You can Google this and...
Ran across this web site that has numerous vintage photos of Vermont - I even found a few neat aerial photos of White River Junction and Essex Junction. One...
