This kit was designed by Colin Rockwood at age 14. This kit was manufactured for and sold exclusively by: Youth in Best Kit 1084Model Railroading, Inc. - Lowell, MA Division.

North Cohasset Station
Cohasset, Massachusetts - Kit 1082

Best Kit 1082Before passenger train service stopped in 1959, commuter trains had been using parts of the Greenbush line for over 100 years. Train service was first started by the South Shore Railroad which built tracks from Braintree to Cohasset in 1849 on which trains operated by the Old Colony Railroad. In 1867 expansion of the line south of Cohasset was started, eventually extending to Kingston in 1874. In March 1893 the Old Colony Railroad, was taken over by the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad.

Under the control of the New Haven Railroad the rail lines set all-time records for number of passengers. The popularity of the train was short-lived, however. Cutbacks in service due to World War I were not restored afterwards due to the increasing popularity of the automobile. The New Haven Railroad went bankrupt in 1935 and kept only a few passenger trains running due to a court order. Service south of Greenbush was discontinued in 1939. The railroad enjoyed a brief uptick in traffic in World War II with the construction of the Hingham Naval Ammunition Depot and the Hingham Naval Ammunition Depot Annex. The number of daily trips was increased after World War II, and modern diesel trains were introduced in the 1950s. Freight trains continued to use the line as far south as the Hingham Lumber Yard located, where the new Nantasket Junction station has just been built, until 1979. All service was terminated in 1983.

It was about this time when the first talk of restoring passenger service began. The MBTA has since restored service, beginning on October 31, 2007. The original New Haven passenger depot at North Cohasset, MA still stands, having been moved to a nearby location and is now used as a garage.

Sawyer River Passenger Station

 

Sawyers River Station. Livermore, New Hampshire.

  • Kit 1005-A Passenger Station
  • Kit 1005-B Car House

 

The Sawyer River Station was located three miles north of Bartlett, New Hampshire at milepost 74.8 and was the terminus for the Sawyer River Logging Railroad's connections to the Maine Central Railroad. The Sawyer River Railroad was one of the early logging railroads to connect to the [then] Portland and Ogdenburg Railroad. It was an eight mile long standard gauge railroad leading from the main line and snaking into the woods along the banks of the Sawyer River. Two miles up the line sat the sawmill village of Livermore. The original station on the Portland and Ogdenburg was named Livermore but was changed to Sawyer River on September 3, 1888. The model is constructed after the station that appears to be the second, of three, that existed at this location. This station closed on October 17, 1921. The Sawyer River Railroad lasted until about 1937.

Wolfeborough Station and Freight House - Kit 1006-A,B

Wolfeborough Passenger StationWolfeborough Station. Wolfeboro, New Hampshire

  • Kit 1006-A Passenger Station
  • Kit 1006-B Freight House

 

The Wolfeborough Railroad was incorporated on July 1, 1868 to connect the town of Wolfeborough to the main line of the Portsmouth, Great Falls and Conway Railroad some 12 miles away to the west. After surveying the land construction began in November of 1871. By the time the line was ready to be opened the Eastern Railroad had decided to lease the Wolfeborough Railroad. At the time of the lease the Eastern Railroad dropped the "ugh" from the name leaving only "Wolfeboro". The first passenger train ran the line on August 19, 1872. (The same year this station and freight house were built) On June 30, 1892 this line became the Wolfeboro Branch of the Boston and Maine Railroad.

 

In the 1910's the rail service began to decline. On March 19, 1927 a Sykes railcar was substituted for steam passenger service. In 1936 the B&M discontinued passenger service over the line. Freight service dwindled from one trip a day in the 1950's to only a couple times a month in the early 1970's. As the B&M was petitioning to abandon the line all together it was sold to the new Wolfeboro Railroad Company, Inc. who ran the line for both passenger (tourist) and freight until the mid 1980's.

The station actually sits on the town lines of Newmarket and Newfield, New Hampshire. (and pays taxes to both towns)

Lisbon Milk Shed

Lisbon Milk Shed and Express Freight Office.

Lisbon, New Hampshire. Kit 1014

In the late 1900's through the 1940's milk was shipped to large city markets. This was big business for the railroads and the B&M Railroad was but one of many railroads that shared in the transportation of milk. This kit represents a typical 'up country' small town milk station with an REA building attached. Milk was shipped in milk cans in REA cars to larger locations to be ""pasteurized"" before shipping to large cities such as Boston. By the late 1900's the milk industry had out grown this small structure and was often replaced by creameries. The creameries processed the milk and then it was loaded into 'can cars' owned by the Railroads who then shipped directly to the market. Meanwhile the Milk Companies purchased their own milk cars which contained tanks for shipment to the milk markets. These cars were called milk tank cars. Both style of cars were used into the late 1940's when trucks gained the preferred method of milk transportation as is the case today.Lisbon Milk Shed and Express Office

Telegraph Office Wickenburg, Arizona Kit 1051

 

Henry Wickenburg came to the area in search of gold. He was rewarded with the discovery of Vulture Mine, where over $30 million in gold was found. Ranchers and farmers discovered the fertile flood plain of the Hassayampa River and settled in the area. Together with Henry Wickenburg and the miners, they helped found the young community of Wickenburg in 1863. It was a rough start for the town with Indian wars, mine closures, desperados, drought and a disastrous flood in 1890 when the Walnut Creek Dam burst. Despite these trials and tribulations the town continued to grow and in 1895 the railroad arrived in town. The Town of Wickenburg was incorporated in 1909. This kit is modeled after the Telegraph Office found here.

Cimarron Depot Cimarron, Colorado Kit 1059

 

The difficult terrain in the area around Cimarron had seemed to make it impossible to run a railroad through. However by the early 1880s, the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad was steadily working west across Colorado.General William Jackson Palmer, who owned the railroad, accepted the challenge of building a railroadthrough the Black Canyon of the Gunnison.In August of 1882, the first D&RG train arrived in a small construction camp dubbed "Cimarron" because some of the workers thought it looked like Cimarron, New Mexico. Most thought that the tiny construction townwould disappear when construction was over. However the terrain demanded helper engines and Cimarron developed into a real railroad townwith a roundhouse and station facilities.
