Hi All,
I did not realize that it's been over EIGHT MONTHS since I've updated this thread!! Apologies
I won't bore you with the reasons for the 8 month delay (including major surgery, and going back to work part time). The set has shrunk as I have done significantly more research. I've narrowed the rolling stock down to ~70 units. I was also able to buy (and receive donations of) New Haven Railroad and Boston and Maine Railroad timetables AND consist books for April-September 1955. The ConnRiver 1955 Passenger Pack is now being released for testing. It will include the consists for the 22 B&M/NH/CV trains that traveled Paul Charland's route from Brattleboro, VT to White River Junction, VT. I left out the trains that originated from Boston, they may appear in a later pack the covers the Cheshire Branch, Rutland and Conn River milk trains.
By limiting this set to Spring and Summer 1955, I unfortunately had to drop the CP trains that ran via Springfield in earlier years. I may, at some future time, return fo a ConnRiver 1950 Passenger Pack. I definitely want to do a pack at some point that catches the change over to McGinnis schemes on the NH/B&M cars, and the CN 'wet noodle" scheme... but I'm getting ahead of myself.
The pack(s) will also include the B&M timetable section 49 that details the schedules of the Conn River trains for activity building.
Watch this space for updates and screenshots.. and thanks for your patience!
