4-3/4 gauge tracks within the Wichita area.

Terry & Anne Woolsey track.

    Critter Creek Railway is a backyard short line branching off the Denver & Rio Grande system. It’s a dual scale line on 4.75” gauge track.  The 1.5” scale narrow gauge Plymouth diesel was borrowed from the White Pass narrow gauge.  It pulls four flats and is great for neighborhood passenger service.  The 1” scale has a mini Critter Creek Plymouth used for short freight service.  The steam roster consist of an early D&RG 2-4-0 used mainly for the pleasure of the chief operating officer.  For quick turn runs there is the Western Pacific Red Car, easy to roll out for a nice run on the Critter Creek.  The Creek itself starts at the head waters of Catfish Falls and flows down stream to Trout Lake.  In it’s course it passes under three bridges, one of which is in the middle of a 30 foot trestle.  The rail is operational and is being improved with additional landscaping.
