Maine Trains in O Gauge

Like the black and white

Very nice!

......thought it was a prototype photo at first  !     

Running MTH's beautiful MEC F'3's , with my home made MEC passenger cars. I used some old Lionel streamlined that I had in a box for ages. I know we had no vista domes here in Maine but it's fun to imagine!

I've enjoyed this thread as my favorite railroads are the Boston and Maine and Maine Central.  I'd like to thank you guys for sharing pics and vids of your B&M/MEC collections.  I just finished getting my collection out of storage and on to shelves.  Most items are MTH with a smattering of Atlas, Weaver, and Lionel.  No layout yet, but I've almost finished planning it and expect to start construction shortly.

Looking back through this thread and saw I mentioned waiting for my MTH B&M Bluebird Alco switcher. It did finally arrive in the spring! Here it is with a 44 tonner and F3 AB set.

I Finally finished my MEC passenger cars! The green stripe is a little off. Maybe I worked for Lionel in a past life. I searched for awhile for the MTH set they made back in the mid 2000's the names were not accurate. Thanks to Highball Graphics I got a set of waterslide decals that helped me do the job. And yes I realize Maine Central never had a vista dome, a full baggage and for that matter they didn't even have a streamline observation car. I guess you could call it my "what if" passenger set.

My only eastern roads freight car.

We've got potatoes...

Maine O Gauge trains are among my favorites, particularly this Boston & Maine diesel (gorgeous livery IMO), which is an MTH Premier PS3 switcher running on DCS:

Notice also the boxcars from State of Maine railroads. Arnold

Pat,

I would be a buyer and would like for E-Z Catch Train Shop to sponsor some smaller MTH steam and diesel locomotives for New England Railroads such as Maine Central, Bangor & Aroostook, Boston & Maine, Boston & Albany, New Haven, and Providence & Worcester.

E-Z Catch, you're breaking my heart, I'm in Maine with a big layout, but only run TMCC. I do love that color scheme!

I bet she would look great on a siding or running conventional!

Good thread Melgar yes! I live in New Hampshire but had relatives work for MEC. Decades ago. Love the Maine central!

thanks!

Ditto HiramO. I make the hobby simple by doing only TMCC yet having full functions. Just less product to choose from.

Melgar greatlthread! Had family that worked for the main central so I’m partial to it!

Can’t forget my MEC diesels and cabooses!
