I'm thinking it used in loading/unloading {in the white zone}of pulpwood. There were acouple of them laying arround when I was a lad

I don't think it's tour trains either.I don't know where the "land of enchantment is but here in the land of privatized power company with no competition the amount of the bill doesn'tseem to be conected to the power used. my bill always goes up this time of year I burn wood, have a clothsline...

I have some names for some of my engines, but I don't think their suitable for genteel company

I should wait till I get to the end (I'm only on pg 3)but that will take DAYS, anyway ... bridges are EXPENSIVE!!! there's a bridge between Folly Lake and Debert that's thirteen sections. I would love to model it but it would cost three hundred bucks just for the bridge not counting supports...

I didn't have a clue when I set up my empire and set it up for four axel engines and 40 ft cars , then I got some passenger cars 18in curves are TOO SMALL they stayed on the track, I think due to the truck mounted coupelers but they looked real stupid. I changed to 22in curves its better but...

Add me to the list of solitary modelers, I don't know one person in forty miles that is into trains. Or meby their just hiding from me. Glad to have "friends"(you guys) that I can "talk" to but don't touch my stuff

chessie 6459 do those double trucks need wid curves? Groovy car.

Those rigs are too new for my time frame but at that price I'd gettum for the mirrors 'n' stuff

thanks Wayne, I respect your opinion. The truck, to the best of my knowlage(and I should know, I drove enough of them but the remembry ain't what it was)is a 49/50 ford.I have no idea who made the model but it looks pretty good and I think it was about three bucks at a show. I got two of them...

HO for me, don't think I could see anything smaller

I put this photo here 'cause the truch has a scratch built body, BUT I kindd got too much stuff/didn't zoom in on the truck. ANYWAY, out of the box it had aplastic stack of boxes on a flat deck that I hacked off and built this lovely (if you could see it) slab box.Up untill just a few years ago...

Tom First let me say that is a very nice scene, not over done at all, very nice. A couple of years ago when I first started this train thing the plan was to put down some track ,get a couple of engines a few freight cars and watch 'em go round and round HA! First change was to grow the "empire"...
