Hello world!

This is the website of Wes Ewell’s personal interests, which include building, restoring, and riding bicycles; building and paddling kayaks; building scale models; and creating line drawings and watercolor paintings of equipment and structures related to the two-foot gauge railroads of Maine, as well as the defunct Suncook Valley Railroad of New Hampshire.

2024 Update: I am now 83 and unable to enjoy these interests the way I once did. I sold my kayaks and will be breaking down my bikes and selling the parts when I get around to it. I can no longer draw due to an essential tremor and have sold off most of my railroad models and tools. I still do some work with my Sherline lathe and mill, however, and I actually get paid to write a bi-monthly opinion column for my local newspaper. You can read those columns at my other website, http://www.wesleyewell.com.

Please enjoy everything I have posted here, and I will be glad to answer any questions you post. -Wes

    Wes,
    Thanks for giving modeling info on these railroads that I have just taken up a really keen interest in by embarking on a model (freelance in O or S) of part of the WW&F line.
    Hope you can put some info on the site about the Grasse River line as Keystone has some kits available from time to time.
    Again, thanks so much and continue on in your effort.
    Reggie
