| The O Scale Appalachian
and Ohio is my attempt at "prototype free-lancing" a railroad
in the tradition of the Chesapeake and Ohio or the Clinchfield.
Set in the verdant hills and valleys of West Virginia, the
A&O seeks by design to capture a railfan's by-the-track perspective.
The imagined railroad runs from Columbus and Cincinnati to
the north and west, to Marion, North Carolina in the south.
There is interchange with other railroads at each end and
with other actual railroads along the way. The time is summer,
1969. |
