As far as I know there is no kit for a Barnhart Loader in O scale. I wish there were.

William Gove's new book, "Logging Railroads in the Adirondacks" came out two weeks ago. It is a great resource with lots of good info, maps and pic's on 20 some lines. There is a whole chapter on the Emporium and Grasse River operations. The first section is somewhat general on logging...

I have never assembled one. One of these days I'm sure. They are metal and wood. If you narrow them they may not be able to have the rails for the loader on top.

Very interesting. Neat story. What is the loader in the picture, if you know? Is it origional and restored or replica? It would be great if they had parking that was a little bit away from the buildings. All of the late model cars kind of are a distraction in the images.

Nice file conversion. I would be interested in seeing a nice collection of these along with the photos of the cars they are from for modeling purposes. Sure put your files up here in one topic to collect and share them. It is my understanding that many of the older graffitti sprayers know...

Thanks for the tip. I am just trying to get a start on this and price things out and see what is reasonable. It might mean a trip back to planning.

I am interested in purchasing four actual railroad wheel sets with axels for a landscaping project. Does anyone have advise on where to get a start on this?

I found a K-line 3 rail TMCC Shay that will soon be relettered as Emporium #37. I had to wait until I could find one under $400. OUCH blew my budget for this year. It was only small consolation seeing the former $800 price tag on the box when I got it. But it will make 31 inch radius curves...

That Moter Car started in Lancaster so it is appropriate that it return there. It seems to be the last car running any regular service of both the Lancaster Oxford and Southern Who built it and the Grasse River. The other Railbus (or one of the Six) was a real 1931 White bus converted to run...

I'm glad someone is reading those old posts.

I think there are only the Two trains. They seem be having an incredible stretch of bad luck the last few years. There was a fire in one last year and they had a hard time evacuating. They are the original, quite old Alweg trains that have been going since the 1960's when the World's Fair was...

William Gove has a new book out apparently that I am sure will be of interest here. http://www.syracuseuniversitypress.syr.edu/fall-2005-catalog/logging-railroads.html

Here is a link to a very optimistic preproduction ad for the Evans Autorailer. The Grasse River had a very used one of these rare birds in the later years. It was used in passenger service and to get loggers to the worksite. Going to work in high art deco style. First the fantasy...

Thanks to another forum member I've learned that the Pennslyvania RR Museum in Strasburg have begun reprinting the "Whining saws...." as well as the rest of the Logging Railroad Era of Lumbering in Pennsylvania series...

Thank you very much for the prompt and helpful reply. I think I was looking in the wrong places. These sites are perfect exactly what I need to get started on this project. I was not even sure if the images still existed as a whole or if they had been lost with the dissolution of the company...

I don't know if anyone will see this as it seems to be a kind of dead area on the site. Anyway... is there an online site that has the Baldwin Builder photos. I am looking for some specific engines built in the early 1890's. I don't even know if these exisit still in some centralized place or...

I would guess teeth to the inch. Am I right?

Sorry had to step away and took longer than I thought. Yes that's the title. There are some good pictures of other things of interest in there like some shots of the Lynns in action and three different homemade speeders the ex-pullman (that is mistakedly called the ex L.O.&S #12 that is now at...

That mill ran from 1917 til about 1927 from what I can tell fro variuos sources. It was the companies most modren and had double band saws. The machinery was stored there and slowly moved to the Conifer mill as needed. The last bits in 1948. Some walls were still standing at least until 1987...

I wrote in and got the Grasse River RR station added to this site. .http://ny.existingstations.com/ Look under St Lawrence County. The building(s) is still there actually both the station and the office are. Appparently they would pick up passengers at both sites. The office/station is a...
