Central Vermont Railway Southern Division in HO scale | In Northern California’s San Francisco Bay Area, a dedicated group led by Paul Weiss is passionately re-creating the Central Vermont Railway’s Southern Division as it existed in May 1956. This historically accurate project showcases meticulously replicated scenes from New London, Conn., to Palmer, Mass., portraying the transition from urban to rural landscapes. Notable landmarks include New London’s Union Station, the Winthrop Cove trestle, and the bustling East New London Yard.
Moving northwards, the model features the picturesque town of Montville with its vast R. Gair paper mill, as well as the iconic Montville passenger station. The layout further captures the essence of various towns like Norwich, Lebanon, and Willimantic, showcasing a diversity of industries and tracks reflecting the region’s character.
In Willimantic, special attention is given to a working Bridge Street Signal, creating a unique experience for operators. Passenger service adds an extra layer of realism to the layout and enhances the experience for visitors. The group’s dedication is evident, with re-created scenes like North Stafford Springs and Munson, demonstrating impressive backdrop artistry and historical accuracy. The journey culminates in Palmer, Mass., where the Central Vermont Railway crosses the bustling Boston & Albany main line. This collaborative layout represents a labor of love, offering enthusiasts a truly immersive experience and promises even more to come in the future.
