Scale model circus--Toad Rock Railroad. G scale

The Toad Rock Railroad serves some of the same areas as the East Tennesse and Western North Carolina Railroad. Most of the equipment is ET&WNC. The railroad also operates a large shop which is responsible for building and bridge construction. The shops frequently do custom work for other railroads and also do commercial layouts in resturants.
The railroad itself serves the towns of Toad Rock, Logans Mill and Cranberry. Toad Rock is a mining town with its iron ore mine providing most of the lines revenue. Iron ore is hauled in custom built ore hoppers built by the shop to resemble ET&WNC hopper which are not available commercially. Most of the lines equipment is made by Bachmann and is G Scale. The track and buildings remain outside year round
