Hello, and welcome to the
Fernwood Lumber Company (FLC) model logging railroad. It was begun in 2004 and
finished 5 years later, in 2009. It was published in an article in the May/June
2009 issue of the Narrow Gauge and Shortline Gazette, and in the January 2015 issue of Model Railroader.
The railroad is in “O” scale, in which one inch on the model represents 48 inches in the full-scale world. It is a representation of the real Fernwood Lumber Co. Railroad, which existed in Southern Mississippi from the late 19th century into the 1930s. The model depicts the time around 1910, before the railroad converted from narrow gauge track (2 1/2 feet wide) to standard gauge (4 feet, 8 1/2 inches wide.)
