            Confalone's HO-scale Allagash Railway is New
          
        
        
          
            Sharon, Maine.
          
        
        
          It's a dreary day in April 1980 and the
        
        
          modest engine facility is alive with the sights and sounds
        
        
          (and smell!) of Alco and EMD diesels getting ready for the
        
        
          day's assignments.
        
        
          Alco RS32 701 is on the New Sharon Switcher while GP7
        
        
          500 and MLW M420 205 get fueled and sanded prior
        
        
          to their trip down to the Maine coast on job NL1 (New
        
        
          Sharon-Lincolnville).
        
        
          The sand tower is a Walthers kit, painted and then decaled
        
        
          with the Allagash logo before weathering with artist oils.
        
        
          The fuel pad was heavily kitbashed from a Walthers kit. A
        
        
          scratchbuilt pump house was added.
