HOn30 Maine Two Foot Modeling Links

There have been many companies that have come and gone over the last 40 years or so that offer everything from Brass locomotives and rolling stock to depots to trucks and wheel sets and what have you.  Fortunately, there are still several manufacturers of various model railroad components for HO/HOn30 modeling for the Maine Two Footers in operation today.  Below you'll find links to several of them.  Happy hunting!

Myner Models at Shapeways offers many 3-D printed components for modeling in HOn30, from complete car kits, details and trucks to locomotive conversion kits that are designed to mount on N scale locomotive chassis.

Railway Recollections has several resin rolling stock kits in HOn30 as well as locomotive conversion kits that mount on N scale locomotive chassis.  Barry is an avid HOn30 modeler.  I particularly love his early Sandy River rolling stock kits that were some of the original cars from the bankrupt Billerica and Bedford Railroad that made up the original Sandy River roster, and his Eustis Railroad/SR&RL forney conversion kit.

Marsh Creek Miniatures offers a tasty selection of HOn30 products in 3-D printing, also through Shapeways.  Rich is also an avid HOn30 modeler, constantly designing new items.

Banta Model Works offers the Phillips Depot in an HO craftsman kit.  It's the kit that I was constructing that's in the photo at the top of this page.

Maine Two Foot Quarterly is run by Gary Kohler, the modern driving force behind keeping the heritage of the Maine Two Footers alive and well.  He publishes M2FQ, and has authored several books on the subject, which he sells on his site as well as DVD's, drawings and plans, and has links to several other narrow gauge sources on his website.

BEST Trains (Bollinger Edgerly Scale Trains) offers kits of structures from the Sandy River & Rangeley Lakes Railroad and the Wiscasset, Waterville & Farmington Railroad as well as many other kits.  My Marbles Station on my Rangeley module is their Marbles Station kit. 
BEST TRAINS
Funaro & Camerlengo makes several kits of Maine two foot rolling stock in HOn30, including the SR&RL, WW&F, and Bridgeton & Saco River railroads.  Their sole distributor is Loco Motive Hobbies, and you can get their kits on their Ebay Store.

The New England Scene has structures from Strong on the SR&RL and North Whitefield on the WW&F.  Make sure you scroll all the way down, because a lot of their main page looks blank. 
The New England Scene
Minitrains has a whole line of HOn30/HOe/009 locomotives and rolling stock.  Their main thing is European style narrow gauge, but they do have a Maine-style Forney available in two paint schemes that are passable for Sandy River Railroad (ex-B&B) #1 and #2.
MINITRAINS
NorthWest Short Line makes wheel sets in HOn30 that go with the Grandt Line (now out of business) SR&RL arch bar freight trucks.  Don't worry (yet!) as the people at Grandt Line have personally told me that another company has bought their business and will be starting up production on their products soon.    I didn't gamble, and bought up 150 pair of their SR&RL trucks before they stopped taking orders. 
NorthWest Short Line
LASERKIT makes a kit of the depot at Strong.

American Model Builders also makes a kit of the Depot at Strong, available through Model Train Stuff.

Branchline Trains makes a depot kit in their Laser-Art series called Backwoods Junction Depot based on the depot at Wiscasset of the WW&F Railroad.

Toma Model Works, although not Maine Two Foot, has many locomotives and components in HOn30, and does have some suitable chassis and and components that can be used in Maine models.

Dundas Models in the UK offers 009 scale track and components.  009 is the British equivalent of our HOn30.  Do a search for "009" and the items will show up.

Portland Locomotive Works doesn't have HOn30, but they've got fantastic stuff for Maine Two Foot modeling in Sn2, On2 and On30 gauges.
