Sandy River and Rangeley Lakes RR

circa 1912

Phillips, ME

The Phillips yards sections were the first to be built, but today, they are the least complete.  The sections feature HOn3 Shinohara track and turnouts.  The future calls for replacing the Shinohara track with Railway Engineering #8 turnouts and hand laid track.  The Phillips engine house and machine shop complex will fill the corner behind the station.

 

The plywood seen in this image will be the Rangeley River on the North side of Phillips.  On the prototype, a 208' covered bridge spanned the river.  In S-scale, that bridge would be over 3 feet long.  The plywood deck in the photo spans 2.5 feet (fairly close to the prototype).  When complete, the bridge will lift off the off the deck for track cleaning.
