2: The sun is setting as the maintenance -of-way crew finishes up a
long day of dumping and spreading ballast. It's time to go back to
the bunk cars for a meal and some sleep, before repeating it all again
tomorrow.
Rick Ritchie took the photo in his back yard on a small diorama. The
spreader is a modified Walthers kit, and the hopper car and caboose
are Atlas products. His picture is a great example of what can be
accomplished with a well composed scene.

Local NA-1 crosses the partially-frozen Contoocook River in Bennington,
NH on its way back to Nashua on a cold day in December 1980.
Neil Schorfeld
took the photo outside on a small module salvaged
from a previous layout. The model closely replicates the proto-
type location, formerly the site of a covered bridge on the B&M
Bennington Branch out of Nashua, NH.
