lumber transfer facility: Reference photo
A photo of a "dog hole" operation, ( lumber highlined to an awaiting schooner) can be found on Page 77 of the Nov. 2000 Model Railroader. Allen Gross built the HOn3 diarama for the NMRA's 2000 national contest, and took best online display.
The schooner was scratchbuilt from Allen Armitage plans published in Narrow Gauge and Shortline Gazette. Very nice looking schooner, but probably not one that would have been in the lumber trade. The pointed bow, and counter stern, are features not found in a lumber schooner, but rather in a fast vessel, such as a Grand Banks fisherman.
