Russ Bundy's Cedar Creek RR (G)
Layout Tour Dates
Important Note: For 2020, there will be no "open house", in-person layout tours. All Piedmont Pilgrimage tours will be "virtual", video-only tours.
Layout Description:
The railroad is designed as a garden with trains running through. There are over 700 live plants with a waterfall/stream. There is an outside loop with an inside mainline that is a figure 8 style with a half loop. Keeping with the garden theme, we wanted a resort atmosphere. Because of this, buildings are limited. There is a Bed and Breakfast, equestrian stables, and fishing in the creek. The main attraction of the layout is the trestle system required by the 17” elevation changes.
