Welcome to Tidewater Trains

 02 May 22:

Welcome to Tidewater Trains, a hobby adventure to explore industrial archaeology through model railroading. Whether it be the traditional aspects of modeling trains, rail and scenery, or 21st Century simulator modeling, we hope to generate discussion, share our tips and learn from the global community. 

We chose Tidewater to represent a geographic location in Virginia that we are currently researching. One of the earliest railways was the Tidewater Railway, established in 1904 as an intrastate railroad. Elements of the railway still exist within the CSX system.

The old Atlantic Coast Line near Suffolk Seaboard Depot.

As we grow we plan to offer custom layout plans and modeling services for scale electronic trains, computer modeling for railroad simulators and virtual physics sandbox modeling.

All aboard!
