Welcome to the Eagle Creek & Watauga Railroad. The On30 Scale EC&W is my attempt at "prototype free-lancing" a railroad in the tradition of the Durango and Silverton. Set in the harsh, unforgiving landscape of Arizona, the EC&W seeks by design to capture a railfan's by-the-track perspective. The imagined railroad runs 19 miles from Possum Gulch to Tortilla Flat. There is interchange with the United Verde & Pacific Railway which leads through to the Santa Fe Railway. The time is summer, 1915. So welcome to the EC&W.

Hang on to your hats and glasses folks! 'Cause this here's the wildest ride in the wilderness!
