Named one of the
web's "Ten Most Interesting Websites" by Model Railroader magazine
The map project I started
continues to expand. You'll notice there are three new railroad maps: L&N, Virginian
and WM. To go along with the maps, you'll find a lot of additional info on the histories
and coal field operations of the L&N, Virginian
and WM. This is something I've wanted to do for a long time, and
these pages will give you an idea of what's to come. I've also changed the format of the
railroad pages to include better crosslinks and a new, lower bandwidth "title
photo" for those of you still on dial-up. Enjoy, and keep those photo contributions
coming!

CONTRIBUTORS - PLEASE READ!
There is a full list of site contributors (60+) on the "Contact ARM" page. If you are a
contributor, please take 2 minutes to verify your name is on the list and contact me so I can get
your most current e-mail address (I've had to turn away questions at times because I don't
have a contributor's current e-mail address). Also, if you would like viewers to be able
to contact you via e-mail through this website, please let me know in your e-mail. Thanks
again!

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.

Railroad Modeling is a success because of the many contributors. Whether it's one photo or
50, a single tidbit of info or a complete article, I'm thankful to each an every one of
