The South Shore Model Railway Club
) is raising
funds through the sale of two versions of a 40’ Southern New
England boxcar produced by Kadee. The prototype, known as
the Titanic Railroad, owned by the Grand Trunk Railway of
Montreal, was conceived as a connection between the Central of
Vermont at Palmer and the Port of Providence, Rhode Island.
The enthusiasm and funding for the planned railroad went down
with the Titanic when the Grand Trunk’s president, Charles M.
Hayes, went down with the ship.
The HO scale ready-to-run models are fictitious schemes
that might have been but never were. The box herald and
maple leaf versions are available at $34.95 each. Shipping
is $5.25 for one car and $1.50 for each additional car.
