Phil Brooks' "Clinch River Railroad" is a freelanced model railroad. It is modeled to look and work like the prototype railroads in the Appalachian coal fields in the '50s.

The easiest way to lean to know Phil's Clinch River Railroad is to study Model Railroad Planning, 2007, pages 20 to 26. You will find the story behind his freelanced railroad, the maps, the track plans, photos, and a lot of information.

If you want to know how he built his famous Clinch River Bridge, have a look at "N Scale Railroading", March 2006, pages 22 to 31.

If you are a railfan, get "N Scale Railroading" May 2006, pages 28 to 37, and read "Railfanning Mack's Gap and Big Creek".

Clinch River Railroad, German branch: 

Starting in 2008, Phil and I discussed the idea of creating a German branch of Clinch River Railroad.

In April 2011, there was the first run of Clinch River trains in Germany, at the FREMO Meeting in Schutterwald, Germany, April 28 to May 01, 2011.
