Bangor & Aroostook in O gauge?

Pretty nice looking paint scheme. this is the first I've seen it.

Williams did a BL-2  and I think they did a GP-7?  RMT did a Beep in dark blue if memory serves.

I like Lionel's 6464-275 Bangor & Aroostook boxcar. The paint scheme is really cool with the red, white, and blue!

But for motive power I do like the paint scheme, but never came across one...

Lionel MPC made a B&A.

This is not my picture, but this is the Bangor & Aroostook 6464-275 box car...

Williams also did the EMD switcher and it's a beauty as is the BL2. The GP7 was a different shade than the other two which was to bad.

In my opinion, I don't like the way Bl-2's look. But like I said, the paint scheme is cool!

If you lived next door to the Bangor & Aroostook roundhouse like I did then you would have loved them.  Unfortunately they are long gone here as is that railroad. One still exists here on display at a transportation museum here in Bangor and there is one running on the Saratoga and North Springs RR in NY which was a former B&A unit. I understand they have bought a second one as well.

I would LOVE to live next to a roundhouse. The rest of my family would have hated the noise at night, but I'm sure it would make me fall asleep!!!

You're so right.  My father lived near a Lehigh Valley switching yard back in the Thirties, when he was a kid.  He told me that many was the night he fell asleep listening to the crash of hoppers being switched, and the screams of steam whistles.

 

Get an all time roster of the BAR locomotives.

 

Compare that list to the production of the O gauge model companies.

Cool story! I love the sound of steam whistles!

My grandparents live right next to a yard. At night, they say that you can hear the bang of the cars being switched, and the occasional horn.

MTH did a pair of Railking Geeps in that scheme.  still waiting on the F3s, both in the original scheme and the blue dip livery. Really want to see the BAR E7s and the matching stainless passenger cars.

These are kitbashes of a Williams BL-2 & a Weaver troop sleeper.

MTH did an F3, SW9, GP38 and BL-2 in two fifferent paint schemes

 

 

WOW. I completley forgot all these were made by MTH. 

 

I really like this kit bashed version of the BL-2.  Nice detail added. 

Very nice kitbashed models Brother Love!  Here are a few photos of the B&A locos I have, all are Williams.  The solid blue units were custom painted by David Kenyon who lives in central Maine.
