MTH catalogs BG&E log cars
Actualy Elk River Coal and Lumber who owned the BG&E (Buffalo, Gauley and Elk RR)
I dont follow the catalogs closely so this may have been on the shelves for sometime but I noticed today while buying some HO stuff for a multi gauge layout.
There is a web site for ERC&L. I was a monitor there once. I would have to google it up now.

AS a boy I had a piece of thier scrip and still have it and I found a picture postcard of a coal hopper setting in the woods.
Those began my live long love with mining and logging railroads in W Va.
God, I am thankful to live in such a place as this. You can realy get a rould in summer and explore the past and the present to your hearts' full
I have about 500 piece of coal and lunbe scrip, as well as related items in my collections.
I will be returning back to the hobby shop to lay a way those cars, nuless the guy will take scrip
Personaly I think the cars are WAY over preiced but I am glad the road name is offered. I may think twice before I buy more than one. I usualy make my own amd letter them with transfers.
