My other passion - National Parks

I know it's been a while since the last update, but
I've been spending a lot of time updating my National Parks website,
ilovenationalparks.org. If you want to see what I've been up to, click here!

ARM is continuing to expand--this time, we've
added the Western Maryland to the mix. While there isn't much material to speak of yet (a
couple of photos), I'm hoping to draw up a track plan or two, and I'm hoping to receive
some more WM photo submissions, both prototype and models. Keep submitting your Appalachian coal-hauling material, even if
there isn't a page for it yet--we'll make one! Thanks for your faithful visits and all the
donations of material!

Welcome to Appalachian
Railroad Modeling! This site is a collection of prototype and modeling
information for those interested in 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.
