The Conn River Lines is an HO scale (1:87) model railroad that reproduces the Boston and Maine Railroad and its neighbors that ran along the Connecticut River in the late 1940's and early 1950's. It is being constructed in phases. Eventually it will be three levels - two levels representing the Connecticut River main line and the third, top deck representing the Claremont Branch. The "mainline" runs between Bellows Falls VT, through Charlestown and Claremont Junction NH, to White River Junction VT. During the time period modeled, this set of tracks was jointly operated by both the Boston & Maine and Central Vermont railroads. White River Junction was a major connection point between the B&M, CV and Canadian Pacific Railroad and trains from all these lines make an appearance.

New Beginnings
Much of the original planning has been scrapped in favor of a new configuration.
The current plan is a series construction phases to get things to a certain level of completeness and then setting up some sort of operating scheme.
A few of the "chunks" from the old layout were saved and will be incorporated into the new.

So keep coming back for more updates. Questions, comments and other input are always appreciated...
