    The Blue Ridge Stemwinder in On30

    I have wanted to build this layout for a very long time. I have enjoyed On30 for about 10 years now. I have built two mini layouts that have graced the electronic pages of this fine site for quite some time. A sugar cane hauler set in 1920 Haiti and a primitive backwoods logging operation set in...

    The "Original" Kittom Lumber Company. Part #2

    Well, this has been an interesting weekend. Photo bucket which had hosted my pictures since 2008 has become ransomeware and is requesting $500 to allow them to post here and the other fora I participate on. Now that is the cost of a very nice On30 locomotive with DCC and sound. I would rather...

    "The Original" Kittom Lumber Co.

    Back when I modeled in HO scale I had a fairly large fictional layout that depicted the logging outfit of the Kittom Lumber Company in the 1930s. It was set in Eastern Tennessee and took up a big portion of the basement of the house we were living in at that time. It was a lot of fun but the...

    A Privy on the Little River and a question.

    A New Privy at Tremont and a question. Number One made an unscheduled stop at the Tremont logging camp. The brake rope in LRRR Combine #310 was pulled. The kids thought the city folk wanted to buy some local produce for their vacationing time at the Wonderland Hotel. Turns...

    The Little River Rail Road in Doc Tom's Back Yard

    Well this move to town has meant a lot of changes for me. Gone is the original HO logger the C&S RR that was a great tool to begin the pursuit of logging railroad history in the mountains of East Tennessee where I grew up. Now with age and presbyopia it is time to move on to bigger scales and...
