RACCOON CREEK & GULLY RAILWAY
A Large Scale Outdoor Railway
Welcome to the RC&G
Background
The Raccoon Creek & Gully is a freelanced large scale railroad that represents a successful and thriving narrow gauge operation. The setting is Southern Ohio and the line ends at the Ohio River near where the real Raccoon Creek empties in to the Ohio. Although not all equipment is based on a specific prototype, it is all intended to represent the basic character of narrow gauge railroading. The time period modeled is the ten year span from1920 through 1930 and most prototype equipment modeled existed in the 30 year period from 1900 to 1929. Most of my equipment is based on Eastern narrow gauge prototypes, specifically the East Broad Top and the East Tennessee and Western North Carolina with a dash or two of the Ohio River and Western thrown in for good measure. The Raccoon Creek & Gully is a work in progress. All trackwork is hand built using wooden ties and code 322 rail. Locomotives are battery powered and controlled by Locolinc. Turnouts are remotely controlled with Locolinc using Del Aire air motors. Most of the rolling stock and motive power is upgraded and kitbashed Bachmann equipment . I started accumulating large scale equipment in 1992 and the first spike was driven in the summer of 1997.
