The Waynesboro Western is an HO scale model railroad being constructed in a large room in my basement. It is about half constructed and has yet to allow continuous running. A number of locomotives and cars have been bought and built and I have a large collection waiting to be built. I hope to have it running for real by the middle of the year. I find it difficult to dedicate the time required but have started scheduling time for the railroad alone.

I have developed a pseudo history and a logo and have designed decals. Information about these items are included on this page. Photos will be included when they are available. I will continue to add information to this web page as I have time and as things develop. To share model railroading experiences e-mail me

This is the track plan of the Waynesboro Western. The right side of the layout is a fiddle yard and a turning loop and is hidden from the rest of the railroad. A narrow gage mining railroad is planed for the center of the left hand peninsula. I am still working on the track plan for that part of the layout.

Most cars of the Waynesboro Western are Burlington Northern green.

Some older cars (circa 1920-1930) including box cars, gondolas and stock cars are tuscan red. These cars have 4 digit numbers and NOT FOR INTERCHANGE SERVICE markings.

Tank cars are either silver or black depending on service.

There are some newer green gondolas but most are black.

There is a special series of covered hoppers used for grain service only that are light cream in color. This series numbered 35000 to 35099 have the letters CFCF in the lower right corner.

Black cars have white lettering. All other colors have black lettering.

Engines, cabooses and passenger cars are Burlington Northern green with black undercarriages. The lettering and logo are gold and trim is with a gold stripe.

The Waynesboro Western Railroad is a might have been bridge route set in the mid 1950's. It starts from a connection with the UP at Laramie, Wyoming. Running south through central Colorado the WW makes a final connection with the MP, AT&SF and the C&S at Pueblo, Colorado. It makes two connection with the D&RGW along it's route.

The railroads reason for existence is the mining of the mineral Breighilium in the mountains above Alexander. The railroad will exist for a long time since this is the only known source of the mineral. A narrow gauge railroad operated by the Lance Mining Company connects the mines to the Waynesboro Western at Alexander. The narrow gauge line also serves the town of Kirsten and the logging area further west. The WW transports the ore to the concentrator at Ram Junction. The Curry Chemical Company at Waynesboro receives the concentrate and manufactures the finished product. The company ships the finished products all over the world. The products include: ingots (box cars), Breighilic acid (tank cars) and powdered Breighilium oxide (covered hoppers).

In addition to Breighilium other industries provide traffic. United Spencer Industries, located at Waynesboro, ships a variety of industrial goods all over the country. The specialty flour mill at Lynette receives grain from selected locations in special hoppers and ships flour and starch products. Other smaller industries also generate traffic.

The Waynesboro Western provides limited passenger traffic. A daily round trip moves between Laramie, through Waynesboro, to a connection with the D&RGW Zephyr at Ram Junction. There are twice daily commuter runs from Waynesboro to Alexander and points south of Ram Junction.

Set in the mid 1950's, The Waynesboro Western has been in existence since the first World War. It will continue as an independent railroad well into the future
