MELGAR. Sorry for the delay. I posted some pictures as soon as I noticed this particularly interesting topic.

Does anyone have the Weaver MEC 470 Pacific? If so, please post a photo or 2 if you can.

Hi John,

I believe this #470 may be a Weaver?   Or it could be custom paint?   I took these photos at a club members layout,  during a summer outing open house.

Boston & Maine.

Fabulous, world class modeling. Bravo, Johan!

That's the one, Mike. Thanks. If/when I find one, that will complete the list of Maine locos I want to own.

Thanks, David 98, for posting these photos. I never knew the Weaver loco was die-cast; I assumed that since it was Weaver, it was brass. That's a great-looking loco; if you ever want to sell it, please let me know.

John

Here are a few that may not have been posted.Thanks for starting this thread.

I always look forward to your posts, photos and comments.

I've avoided posting any Boston & Maine equipment until now so as not to "offend" any Maine aficionados with a railroad that was incorporated in Massachusetts. But I believe that B&M #3713 did run between Boston and Portland. Model by Weaver.

Completely forgot I picked up this MEC Cylindrical Hopper a couple of months ago...

Arnold. Thank you very much.

A few more. Adding a fixed pilot and KD coupler to a Williams E7 really helped it's looks.

Wow ! More entries! So cool. Even if it’s B&M  lol!
But I really  like B&M  as well. Thanks  CTR.

Johan, I hope my scenery looks as beautiful as yours when I embark on my scale, railroading adventure.
apple 55....great cylindrical map car!  
capecod northern...more MEC goodies. Yeah the KD improve things look wise and operational.
BAR GP7 #73....beautiful scenes.  
David98, ahh the glorious  470! Such a great loco

Mel, what a solid loco that B&M3713!

so much MEC and B&M I really am amazed!

Leroof. Thank you. I don’t think building a landscape is more efficient than anything else. All it takes is a plan, the color of the eye, a lot of time and patience.

Another video of my “Maine Train” behind Maine Central #501.

What is below is a 4 car passenger train based on postwar 027 Lionel (2400 series cars; 200 series Alcos).

ps  have not abandoned day job for photography career yet . . .

My only "Maine" contribution.....

Peter

CP3, BAR GP 7, Putnum Division, all cool entries!

Can't resist one last pic...   the B&M Budd unit from 3rd Rail

Jan

Jan, that scale sized B&M BUDD car is sure spectacular! Wow!

Just received this in the mail today from Mario's Trains. I am hoping to be able to un-box this weekend. This is my first Maine related item. I also ordered the two car add-on set; Mario's Trains expects that in March.

Johan is the rotary snow plow custom painted?  I don't recall seeing a BAR plow before.

Joe. Yes, that is custom painted.

BREWCREW! Excited to see the unveiling of you B&M E8! Plus add ons! Cool.

Johan, your weathered B&A  BL2 looks so real! Awesome.

My Maine Central collection has been growing like crazy this past winter!

Just finished a couple of these and I have 2 Weaver troop sleepers to convert once i get courageous enough to start them.

A few B&M ........

I added some decent pics. Just a bit of my Maine Central stuff. And I'm also a B&M fan.

Some O cars I had custom painted when before I went back to S

I don’t think anyone has mentioned the Lionel Legacy light mikado #624 from the 2017 catalog. This is a beautiful running & sounding engine with whistle steam... Lionel even  got the black color right!

I am not into steam era, but that is beautiful!! Reminds me of 470. (Maybe I could be convinced)

Couple more B&M pics ......

And here’s the latest Maine Central from MTH!

It's not exactly MEC, but the Maine 3 Railers came out with a nice club car this year.

The BAR Sensor Car (transplant from the REA Reefer sensor car).

Plus my MEC tote bag (from global airline to railroad).  My folks brought that bag back from a trip originating at Bangor.  Still using it as a grab bag for bits of line.
