C & DR #25 started life as a N scale Minitrix FM diesel. I
changed it to HOn30 by adding the AHM HO cab and changed the position of
the handrail. It still runs great after more than 27 years. Bob Hayden
built the pulpwood car from scratch. The boxcar is a Polymold kit.

This is an HOn30 Caboose made from a Polymold kit. They were offered during the
early 1970's, Along with the caboose they offered a boxcar, and several
passenger cars.
The kit consisted of six polyester resin castings, bits of wire, and
instructions. With a little filing and a lot of 5-minutes epoxy they made a
nice looking car. Bob and I used N-gauge passenger car trucks and N Kadee
couplers.

Here's a photo of Dick Patterson's HOn30 diorama based upon the Dolly
Varden mines. Dick built the large two-sided diorama based upon information
from the book, "Steel Rails & Silver Dreams" by Darryl E. Muralt, published
by Benchmark (Gazette).
Everything on the layout except track and engine mechanisms is scratchbuilt.
