Hi Neil!

Good luck in your search and welcome to the family!

Thanks!

Thanks for the welcome Mario!

Hi Neil. Welcome to the forum!

I just recently added the Rutland 70 ton to my fleet of Northeast roads. I don't believe there are too many choices beyond a few cars but happy hunting.

Bob

Thanks Bob.
The lack of chevrons on 500 kills me, but I’m going to persevere and move forward with some Microscale decals.
It’s a nice little switcher, and worth the time. 🤙🏼

Nothing like riding the RUTLAND!

WELCOME!   It's nice to see another Vermonter on the forum.  I was born in Proctor and grew up in Brandon (actually, Forest Dale).   The Rutland Rules (especially the Addison Branch).

Im in Danby and can be found in the mighty Otter Creek all the way from its headwaters to up and through Proctor chasing trout and watching trains.

I started modeling the Rutland about 5 years ago. Love Milk Trains and Fall foliage. Not much out there. If you don’t mind decaling there are a number of close enoughs. Highball Graphics for Steam and Passenger. Protocraft and Tichy for freight.

Rutland is mt second home since mt mother grew up there and I have family still in the area.  I have lots of Rutland motive power

Awesome! Good to know there are plenty of locals in this forum. 🤙🏼

If you like to build kits and model the Rutland. This kit was a must have. You can still find them. Stood beside the mainline in Danby Vt..

This is very near to my heart.
The reason I got into O gauge is none other than Burt Crosby himself. Burt is Elbert Crosby’s son. After his father passed, Burt gifted me his father’s Lionel collection.
The foundation of my O collection is Elberts collection. 👍🏼

Neil, what a great story.

E.C. Crosby & Sons... WOW!  Well Done Guys!
