Steps for
Building – Winnipesaukee Scenic Railroad’s #1008
By James E. Harter Jr.
This modeling project has been designed to allow
the model railroad enthusiast to build a highly detailed and accurate
model of the Plymouth and Lincoln Railroad’s Winnipesaukee Scenic
Railroad #1008. The Plymouth and Lincoln Railroad is the parent company
of the Hobo Railroad of Lincoln N.H. and the Winnipesaukee Scenic
Railroad of Weirs, New Hampshire. This project pack is designed for
building Winnipesaukee Scenic Railroads #1008. Be advised that some
minor modifications to the engine frame and the optional snowplow are
required when building this engine. Also it is sometimes difficult to
find the Atlas switcher engines, you may have to check with more than
one hobby shop.
