In the future I will be adding data on the Yard and the towns of Hillside and Clifftop.  Stay tuned.

Town of Deepwater W. Va.

Deepwater is a 2' x 8' module at the very North end of the Railroad.  The track plan is based on John Olsens' Back Alley and Wharf Railroad from a Model Railroader article in Feb. 1983.  This section describes, with 42 photos and text, the steps and techniques used to build the module.

Control Panels

At one time I decided that plexiglass control panels would look great on the facia.   Actually they did, but as the railroad changed I found that they where a little time comsuming to build and rebuild.  Once I finish the current iteration of the CVRR, I will go back and build them one more time.  This Section is a step by step process to build such a panel.

The New River Mine

This link will take you to 15 photos showing the benchwork, track, weathering and ground cover techniques to build this industry on the CVRR.
