Boston and Maine Railroad F7 Engines in Blue Paint
BLW/ZosaTrains Presents The Boston & Maine Equipment Pack
The B&M and its predecessor companies made possible the development of New England's principal mill towns. Shipments of grain, ice, lumber, meat, and produce over its rails contributed to the expansion of Boston as a market center and a great port city. Through its connection with other railroads, the B&M sent its passenger cars to Washington, New York, Chicago, Montreal, and Halifax.
At its peak B&M maintained over 2300 route miles of track, 1200 steam locomotives, and a force of 28,000 employees. The road's principal shops were located at Billerica, Mass. and Concord, N.H. Major yards were found at Boston, East Deerfield, Mass., Portland, Me. and Mechanicville, N.Y.
The B&M dieselized early with EMD FTs. For passenger service, the B&M ordered eight Budd RDCs 1952 and 1953, but by the time the decade was over, they had replaced all locomotive-hauled passenger service (except run-throughs) with a fleet of 110 Budd RDC's, including RDC-1 coaches, RDC-2 baggage/coach combines, RDC-3 baggage/RPO/coach combines, and the unique cab-less RDC-9s.
Belanger Locomotive Works and ZosaTrains are proud to introduce the Boston and Maine Railroad equipment pack. These locomotives display both the original Maroon and Gold paint scheme, and the blue, black and white scheme introduced by Patrick B McGinnis when he took over the B&M after his ouster from the New Haven.
Gaetan Belanger (BLW) has modified his Alco RS-3 to more accurately represent the Boston & Maine versions, as well as creating new models for the RDC-3 and RDC-9. Rick Franzosa (ZosaTrains) has used a combination of photographs from his collection as a basis to accurately represent these models as they appeared in the late 1960's.
This set includes:
Boston & Maine class DRS-1e (Alco RS-3) – 2 units
Boston & Maine class DF-3b (EMD F-7A) – 4 units
Boston & Maine class DF-3b (EMD F-7B) – 4 units
Boston & Maine class class DS-3b (Alco S-1) – 1 unit
Boston & Maine class DS-4b (Alco S-2) – 2 units
Boston & Maine RDC-1 Coach – 4 units
