Steaming Here are a few more. Taken from the Manitoba Agricultural Museum in Austin, Manitoba. I spent a week at the end of July Running a Case 65 steam engine (Seen on the threshing machine in the big arena) and threshing. . You might have to dig a bit to find the saw mill ones but I am...

I really like the run down look. Great Job

I tried searching on the 4L group of loggers on yahoo groups. The author of The Model Railroader's Guide to Logging Railroads contacted me directly.He gave me some suggestions and even offered to help me out himself when he has a chance. Seems as though he would like to build this layout as...

SO the response i got back was simple. The engineer says that the mechanical idea would be that it should go faster, but he didn't think that would even work. He said it sounds like a far fetched prototype that some sucker would go for. In summary he says SCAM!

I have put in a request with my mechanical engineers at work. I am asking them to explain the benefits of these locos? I will keep you guys posted on the results.

These guys respond fast. Mike: I’m sorry, but all the information we have on this layout was published, and we haven’t heard from the author in many years. I wish I had better news. Regards, Jim Hediger, senior editor Model Railroader magazine" That does not look good. I guess i will...

Thanks for looking. I have put in a request with the Kalmbach People.

Something about the tri-axles on that truck looks funny to me. Maybe it is because I am mostly used to seeing 2 axles on dump trucks. Either way it should be able to haul a lot more weight. Great job on the box.

Anyone out there with this info? M

I am looking for information on a layout. It is the Nescher & South Valley Mineral RR. It is from: HO Monthly/Model Trains Spring 1961 issue http://index.mrmag.com/tm.exe?opt=I&MAG=HOMT&MO=4&YR=1961 This layout is also featured in the book The Model Railroader's Guide to Logging Railroads...

Wow that looks great. i am working on building my own sawmill in HO but i think i could probably put it inside that one 3 times even though it is a larger scale.

Saskatoon SK has this one: http://www.saskrailmuseum.org/ There is also a really cool active train bridge with a walkway. If you time it right you can be up there when a train comes across. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McDonald_Bridge_(Saskatoon)

We will be firing the 1:1 steam traction engines to get them ready for our threshing show in 2 weeks.

the 5th one is my favorite. You might be an engineer, but can you drive a train?? I work with engineers every day, mostly electrical and computer but i am the only one certified as a Power Engineer Steam Traction Class.

Looks good. Great job.

I bet that made quite the sound as those cars were demolished.

Thanks to all who posted. I enjoyed looking at everyone's pictures

Looks like a great idea. I would caution that there be enough clearance along the front of the fascia that someone would not accidentally snag their shirt or arm and damage the switch stand.

Check out alaskamodelrrnews There are a bunch of layouts in various scales there.
