Two
C&O Geeps work the tipple at Dunham, KY -Jay Thompson photo
Ever
heard of the Kentucky &
Tennessee Railway? It never quite made
it to Tennessee, but it hauled a lot of coal and logs in Kentucky. You
can actually ride the K&T today by taking a scenic trip on the
Big South Fork Scenic Railway, and you can learn more about its history
and operations and see a pair
of trackplans in this update. Enjoy!

Welcome to Appalachian
Railroad Modeling! This site is a collection of
prototype and modeling information for those interested in scale trains
and modeling the coal-hauling railroads of Appalachia. Although not
all-inclusive, ARM's focus is on the
railroads which haul coal in the states of Kentucky, Virginia, and West
Virginia with coverage expanding to Maryland and Pennsylvania. The
primary roads currently covered are the L&N, N&W,
C&O, Clinchfield, Virginian and the Interstate (Southern) and
their successors with a focus on post-dieselization. ARM
is currently looking for material from people like you for all
appalachian railroads, but especially the B&O and WM.
 Prototype
information includes photos, rosters, track diagrams, etc. If you have
any prototype photos or information you would like to share with others
via this site, or if you have a related web page you would like to
include on the "Links" page, please click the "Contact ARM" link to the
left.
 Modeling
information includes model photos, how-to articles, and track plans.
The "Models" pages are intended to showcase the work of many
Appalachian modelers. If you would like to include a model or layout
photo, click the "Contact ARM"
link to the left.
Many links are provided on
every page to make navigation easy. The basic links are listed on the
menu bar at left and at the bottom of every main page. Please enjoy
this site and let me know if you have any ideas for improving these
pages. If you're looking for a good place to start, click here.
