I hope you enjoyed your vacation in Maine and got some ideas for new scenes on your model railroad. The Dv15 locomotive is interesting, and so are the wood-sided passenger cars in these photos. Do you know when these cars were built and retired from service? They look to be in very good condition. Has anyone made a model of a Dv15?

MELGAR,
The trip was a really wonderful experience and I did get a lot of ideas, as well as, for example, background images. The wooden passenger cars currently owned by HMVY were built in the 1920s-1950s, the last wooden passenger cars were still in active use at the end of the 1980s. At least I don't know that the Dv15 or Dv16 series was made into a commercial series, which is a shame. Instead, the Dv12 series has been made into a very high-quality kit for the H0 scale.
