As my imaginary history has evolved for my layout, the names have also evolved.
Lugoff, Camden and Northern Railroad – This is the name you see at the top of the page. Originally I just picked a name out of my virtual hat and at the time applied it to my On30 modules. Since that time it has migrated to a Standard Gauge line and parent of the On30 and On18 operations. Deep River Railroad – Currently this is the name for the On30 line. The story being that in the late 1800′s a group of investors moved the equipment from a mine in South America that had closed (30″ railway) back to the Carolinas to move aggregates. The idea is that a dedicated narrow gauge moving aggregates (including sand and gravel), rock and minerals survives into the early 1940s. Hill Valley Coke Company – This is the On18 line. The small gauge is due to it running directly from a fairly nearby coal mine to the Coking Operation. |
