The New England Scene
purveyors of distinctively typical
New England Structures |
|
|
|
Our mission is two-fold. First, to provide kits of structures commonly
seen in New England in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Our subjects will
tend to be the mundane not the ornate. Subjects will
be chosen to help the modeler prepare an "historically probable" setting for
trains to wind their way through. Second, to provide kits for the Maine 2
foot modeler until now unavailable or only available in less accurate forms.
Whenever possible the subjects chosen will combine our
two goals. Our kits of Maine 2 foot related structures will be based on the best
available research and will portray the structures as they were when
the railroads that served them were going
concerns. |

What's New?
Really nothing. The kit business is on hold while I raise kids and life gets in the way of living. |

Our second kit, two versions of which appear above,
is the Hilton Store that
stood until spring 2006 at North Whitefield, Maine, along the right-of-way of the Wiscasset, Waterville, and
Farmington Railway. The kit represents the store as it existed while the railroad was in operation before an addition was added to
the side. The kit can be built as plain as would have been
the tradition in New England in the 1800s and into the 1920s or dolled up with
dozens of signs to create a "roadside America" version much favored by today's model railroaders. For more
background on the store click
here.
The kit comes with 75+ signs, including
representations of paper signs and posters, banners, porcelain signs, and
billboards, plus decals for painted on signs and materials for an
awning. It also comes with castings from Bar
Mills Models,
and Bill's
Train Shop
. All major components are laser cut making this an easy
build and the comprehensive instructions will guide you in
making a personal masterpiece even if a novice
modeler.
The
store can be built to fit any era from the 1820s to
today.

version.
Currently it is only available in HO
scale. O and S scale versions are in the
works but may never be finished due to lack of interest.
Dimensions in HO without the front porch are 2
3/4" by 4 1/4".

the reviews in the April 2004 Railroad Model Craftsman, the September/October
2003 Narrow Gauge and Shortline Gazette and the Fall 2003 issue of The Maine 2 Foot Quarterly.

The Engine House at Strong
Our first kit is of a typical gable roofed barn that
was used as an enginehouse on the Sandy River and Rangeley Lakes Railroad in
Strong, Maine. It is designed for small HOn30 and HOn2 locos and could be used
as a rail car shed in other gauges. It can also be used as
a garage, barn, repair shop, machine shop, boat house, or
for any other imagined use. Add a lean-to office from Main Street Heritage Models at the
side, paint in bright colors and it could be a car or truck dealership. All
parts are laser cut and all window and trim pieces
are self-adhesive so this kit can be quickly built into whatever your heart
desires. 5 3/4" by 3 1/2".
