Welcome to the Stepford County Railway Wiki. Please remember this is an editable wiki, which means that anyone who has had a wiki account for a few days can edit the information. This wiki is not run by the Directors, although we do have some staff members of SCR working with us, they are not here on official business.
We do try to keep information as accurate as possible, if you find any false information, feel free to edit it or tell a staff member.
Rules
The following is a full list of wiki rules divided into three different sections. These rules apply to the wiki only, and apply to all users.
These rules apply everywhere on the wiki, including the discussions, comment sections of pages, and editing. If you see someone breaking these rules, please inform one of our staff members.
