Welcome NEProtoMeet Attendees!

If you were - or still are - at the 12th Annual New England Prototype Modelers' Meet and happened onto this website, "Welcome!"  I hope you'll take some time to poke around and see my attempt at recreating the New Haven Railroad's Valley branch in HO scale.

As a first stop, and by way of introduction, click on the About Me link.  The last two paragraphs describe a bit more fully what I'm trying to do.

Once you get the overview, you'll want to be sure and take the Layout Tour.  There you'll find a rough trackplan and the line is operational (benchwork & track) from Wethersfield to Middletown.  Unfortunately, it's not yet scenicked, but you'll hopefully get a good idea of what it will look like when I'm done.

If it's scenery you're looking for, you can check out my first attempts on the "Somerset & Mill Hollow" - two modules I built using (exquisitely detailed) structures I salvaged from a friend's old layout and that are standing in for the Airline branch of the layout.

Links to all these areas are embedded above and also located at the left side of the webpage.  I hope you'll enjoy browsing around and if you have any feedback on how I can do things better or if you have any information or photos on the areas I'm modeling, please be sure to let me know!
