Roster

The Corinna and Searsport has a fairly impressive roster for a small railroad, which consists of small rod-type steam locomotives, rail trucks and buses, and a few gas-mechanical locomotives. As with most Maine narrow gauge lines, Forney’s are popular with the management, although other rod-engines are well represented, too.

Steam Locomotive Roster

C & S Steam Locomotive Roster (effective September 1, 1936)

No.	Type	Builder
4	0-4-4 Forney (inside frame)	Bachmann	(modified)
5	2-6-0T	Backwoods Miniatures / Bachmann	(brass kit)
6	4-4-0 (outside frame)	Bachmann	(modified)
9	2-4-4 Forney (outside frame)	Bachmann
10	2-4-4 Forney (outside frame)	Bachmann
11	2-4-0	Backwoods Miniatures / Bachmann	(modified)

Note that at present, only three of the listed locomotives are in operation — nos. 6, 9 and 10.

Nos. 4 and 11 are awaiting “shopping,” which means that they are waiting to be made from Bachmann 2-4-4 inside frame Forneys and other various and  sundry parts.

All locos except the 2-4-0 and the 2-6-0T will see regular “mainline” service. The 2-4-0 is planned to be a yard switcher at Corinna, and the 2-6-0T will most likely serve the quarry branch.

In addition to the steam roster, there are a few rail trucks and rail busses on the railroad for small freight, mail and passenger services.

C & S Rail Cars / Busses

C & S Rail Cars and Busses (effective September 1, 1936)

No.	Type	Builder
1	Mack AC Railtruck	Backwoods Miniatures / Bachmann	(conversion kit)
2	Mack AC Railtruck	Backwoods Miniatures / Bachmann	(conversion kit)
7	Mack AC Railbus	Backwoods Miniatures / Bachmann	(conversion kit)
8	Mack AC Railbus	Backwoods Miniatures / Bachmann	(conversion kit)
14	Doodlebug	C & S Shops / Bachmann / Atlas	(kitbash conversion)

None of these yet fully exist, although many of the component parts and all of the mechanisms are “in stock” awaiting assembly.

Finally, simply because they’re cool, and my initial inspiration for Maine Two-Foot modeling used them, there will be about a half-dozen gas-mechanical locomotives (list to follow). These will all be kit-bashes from Boulder Valley Models, Backwoods Miniatures and Mocalova Model Works on various chassis. A detailed listing will follow.
