On most prototype pictures I know, the are gray or gray with a nice touch of sepia :lol: In serious, logcars can be painted in different colors. The first criterion is the material of the car. Wooden cars can be stained in gray with a touch of brown to represent natural unpainted wood. If...

Hello all, here is a new update to my progress on the party. I've done only a few small things last week :-( I've got many other things to do, so I've got no time for my layout. What I've done is : - Spend metal-wheelsets to my logging cars, - painted the rails on layout in rusty brown...

The disconnects in Fn3 are bought from LGB. Only thing I've changed were the wheelsets.

That's easy :-) Use a small diamond saw blade in a mini drill to engrave the glas over the metal part of the bulb. Then use a candle and heat up this sektion. You have to try some times to get the first usable opend bulb. Then cut of the innert parts of the bulb and form a landscape with...

After 40 houres of hard work and many curses :rolleyes: , the new update of my logging-website is on the web now. I've added many new pictures and information to all my logging railroades in Fn3, On30 and N-scale.:cool: But the best is... This is the first version of my website totally...

Hi Eric, yes you can ask... :-) It's a watercar bring water to the donkey engines in the woods. They are often used, if the log landing far away from any river. Here is an other picture

Where did I seen the big 4 letters painted on the green tankcar..... Oh.. I know.. I'm working by the BASF-Germany ;-) The weathering looks good, Shaygetz.

I've spend some time on weekend to build buildings and a trestle. The trestle is in place on the upper track near the turnout of the switchback. The shed, watertank and a warehouse are ready for painting next week. Pictures will come later.

Hi all, I've build some buildings and a trestle this weekend. Pictures will come next time.

Hello, I'm working on a small logging layout for the Atlas Shay and my scratchbuild Climax. The size of the layout is 4x1 ft. I'm trying to represent the way of logs on the railroad with a loglanding in the upper area and a logdump in the lower left. To get some hight in this small space...

No. I've got the hobby from my dad. He was a N-gauger before I was born. Since I know him, he will build a big layout, but haven't done this until today. He's to busy :cool: So I gave him this little for his office to play with his trains ;)

Here is a first shot of my logloader in progress.

Hi, there is a pic of my weatherd n-scale watercar in my climax thread and here is an other one in Fn3.

Hi John, the size of the layout is 40" x 8", but only 28" were used for landscape. The other side is a hidden switching area.

There are Bettendorf-trucks under my logcars. Some time ago, I've got 6 MTL-tankcars, that has been used to build the five logcars and the watercar. I've removed the tank and glued a wooden decking on the frame. Here are 3 new progress pics out of my workshop. I've spend some time on...

Yesm they have ;) A logging railroad has to transport logs from the landing to the logdump... ;) :D My dream is to represent the real operations in N-scale. I think I will try to cut some out of brass... hooks are also a good idea.

Good morning, today, I'll show you some picture of my last microlayout in N-scale. It was a christmas gift for my dad. Have fun with the pics :-) The other pics are aon my webseite at http://www.gerds-modellbahn.de/n_bahn/micro.htm

Good morning over there... Yesterday, I've finished the wooden tunnel frame of my logloader. So I've arrived at the next problem. What to use as loading tongs to load 1/3" logs on flatcars. Any ideas :-)
