Modeling the Tidewater

Its been a long time since I was much of a modeler, but I have encountered quite a few folks who own and operate items of Tidewater Southern rolling stock and structures on their miniature empires.

This section is devoted to those who have immortalized the Tidewater in scale, and will provide details and hints for those who want to.

NEWS FLASH!

Atlas has just announced that they will soon release their HO and N scale RS1s factory painted in green and orange as Tidewater Southern 746 and 747.  Pre-production artwork even show the locomotives with their correct paint variations.  More information will be posted as it becomes available.  It is believed that these are the first model locomotives ever factory painted for the TS.
