Conway Scenic Railroad Discussion (CSRX) - 2011

Silver Lake,

Since the Barlett Roundhouse is such a worthy project I'd suggest that you 'take the next step' and sponsor their trip.

They could use any additional publicity and support.

HHMMMM.....perhaps the pot could be split and throw a roundhouse tour in...

What do you mean; a combined trip?

Silver Lake,

Absolutely, why not?

They could use the extra publicity and exposure on other websites. You might have contacts with people that they otherwise wouldn't cooperate with. This makes the entire undertaking more likely to be successful if you can combine your potential ridership. More importantly it also helps a good cause that is directly related to railroad history preservation.

I think there's still some insurance concerns regarding public access to the roundhouse property...

I talked to Paul- I think we will do it with the Bartlett Roundhouse Group!

More info very soon!

Ok, here's the scoop. NERFS and the Bartlett Round House Preservation Club will be teaming teaming up for a trip along the entire line (Notchland South) on Saturday june 11th! The plan is to go to conway, redstone, and notchland, using the Millie RDC. We will hold a bunch of Photo-Runby's. The trip is scheduled to take Six hours total, departing N Conway at 10: 30 AM, I am also thinking about running a quick SLRR trip up that portion of the Conway Branch line at 9:30 That Morning. If that is the Case, CSRR would pick the SLRR riders up at Conway Yard at 11AM, and shuttle us back at the end of the day!

Tickets will be available on the Conway Scenic's website next week!

Free "Will Scopa" coloring books will be passed out to all riders on the "Willie", and CSRR will supply the crayons left over from their Thomas Event! :-0 Please pardon my hideous punctuation and Spelling!

Funny what happens when you slightly suggest Anyway...I plan on being aboard.....the wife can go to the outlets

yes everyone, thanks for the ideas! I hope many will enjoy this 5 hr trip! We need 20 minimum to make this happen, so sign up asap!

I have a flyer for the event. Paul will offer them at springfield, or you can download em from my home page "new england railfans.com"

I'd upload it here, but I don't know how to do that. If anyone does, download it from the site, and upload it here!


Thanks to the BRHPC and "uncle" Paul for making this idea an actual event!

so, who's going to be at amherst this weekend? i heard from a little birdie on facebook that otto is going to be there, as well as dan lambert and his crew that are trying to save the eastbrookfield depot. anywho, CSRR is doing a model of 252 this year from athearn, and the pre-production modl will be at the show. also, it looks like CSRR is looking to do models of each one of their locomotives, i think they already covered 573, and they are looking into doing 7470. it does look like the USRA 0-6-0 from proto 2000 could be used (this info is off the CSRR facebook page). they also found a prestine brocure from the wolfeboro railroad in the wall of the mens room, as well as a hidden door.

I can't make it too Big E.....I will be in the valley sun-tues on a long awaited winters break.....gonna get some snow shots and hopefully say goodbye to 15 one more time...

We already have a Springfield thread: http://railroad.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=126&t=78364

Well, this ties in directly with CSRR,...
I saw some G scale CN 0-6-0's that were a good match for 7470...
my "evil plan" is to one day have one (possibly in Live Steam) to do "Steam In The Snow" specials in my backyard.
It was nice to meet Mike M and Paul H up there. I can't figgure how ANYBODY can not like CSRR.

I imagine that there are a few people that don't like it for reasons... It's like why people don't like me, per-say. Now there is a lot of snow in the Valley. (Just as an update)
