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. |
