In the begining

This site will follow along as I build a new HO scale layout based on the Bangor and Aroostook in the 1980's.  If it has a pine tree logo, it has a has a home on this new layout.  As of this post, I have a 15'x40' unfinished room attached to my new home in which to finally build the large layout that I have always wanted.  It will be loosely based on the BAR from Brownville Jct. to Derby but, will also include bits from Searsport, Millinocket, and the old Dover-Foxcroft branch.  I lean towards running trains, with an eye towards operation.  I intend to extensively use modeler's license as I am much more interested in fun than counting rivets.
