36th National Narrow Gauge Convention

The 36th National Narrow Gauge Convention was held in Augusta, Maine from September 7th through the 10th.  There was a mix of Maine two-foot prototypes and models, along with clinics and the Manufacturer's/Vendor room.  Most Convention activities took place at the Civic Center.  There were three rooms full of modular layouts.  I visited the WW&F, and the SR&RL prototype railroads, and several layouts.  I am sharing a few pictures of the prototype and modular railroads.


Prototype

Wiscasset, Waterville, and Farmington No. 9.  This locomotive has been fully restored.  Two-foot locomotives are cute!

Monson Railroad No. 3, running on the Sandy River & Rangeley Lakes.  This is a short run, but we had multiple photo run-bys. 


Models
 
Denver & RIo Grande Western No. 271, a C-16 class locomotive, beside the Dolores Feed Mill on the Canadian group's Dolores On3 modular layout.

Rio Grande Southern No. 41 running on the Canadian group's modular layout.  This is a new module, connected to their Dolores scene.

Another view of RGS 41 on the new module.
