Tacking On The MTY's Next the empties get tacked onto the Shaymaxler. A load of cable (delivered yesterday by the Terlingua Turn) is also going out to the Agua Fria branch..................

Grabbing and Stuffing Now the 0-6-0 pushes the loads onto the log dump siding...........

Pulling the MTY's Here the 0-6-0 assigned to the Edwards sawmill pulls the empty log flats out of the sawmill siding to clear the log dump siding. The Shaymaxler has pulled up and stopped on the main.............

Hello Logging People! I’m having some fun chronicling a day on my Alpine & Terlingua. On the N gauge forum I posted some pictures of the Alpine yards and the crew getting the A & T’s engines ready for the days work. At the same time about 25 miles down the line the "Shaymaxler" is roaring out...

Logging Gentlemen, I'm going to move this segment of "A Day On The A & T" over to the Logging Forum since this segment is all logging. See you there?

Your Station Arl, Really nice looking station! I like your paint scheme, it pops out the trim detail nicely. I built the AMB 9-Mile Inn....great kit. Your right they don’t fall together but compared to the old days when kits were punched out with very dull dies these things are a giant leap...

Couplers I guess I’ll have to agree with the opinion that MT’s are the best. I don’t run trains much over 10 or 12 cars but backing truck mounted can be irksome at times with either coupler but, in my experience, more so with Accumates. I was pretty happy when I bought some Atlas ore cars and...

Whoa! I was up in Chama, NM and was wandering around the engine house with one of the mechanics. They were replacing the "crown sheet" for the fierbox on one of their narrow gauge "Mikes". I thought that was big! That's a real wake up picture Jim, I think we sometimes forget how big those...

Hey Marc! Glad to see you on board. Get that water tower on the Photography, Scenery, Books, Video Forum. Gentlemen I urge you all to take a look at that baby when Marc posts it, you won't believe it! Please put some of your other stuff on Marc, maybe in the logging section. This is a great...

The Forest Through the Trees Beautiful work Shamus! :)

You Are Set! Agatheron, There may not seem like a lot of difference between 10" radius and 13.5" but I have found it to be night and day. With 13.5" you should be able to run the longest equipment out there. Your 85 footers will look a lot better on the 13.5" than the10". Congratulations on...

Nalmeida, Great looking little railroad! Looks like you are off to a good start. Nice pictures............lots of color. Have fun!!! and keep us updated.

Class 'A' Climax Tyson, Now that's my kinda 'N' scale logging loco! Great looking little engine. Greg, I did understand that the Shay is going to be a split frame, cast alloy and plastic but I still have to wonder where the price will come in. I guess we can bet it will be...

Your Door screwysquirrel, It appears you have walked through a new door in your life, or at least painted one. The track plan looks good, keep us all posted as you progress.:)

Thanks All! Thanks for the comments guys, I surely do appreciate them all. And you are right Ralph, I’m sure my brain reached a few feet back in my sub-conscious and pulled the idea from good ol’ MR magazine. This will be a fun project and when I’m done I think I’ll put the pictures on a CD and...

Great Stuff! Grumbeast, I wish my cheap digital camera would get the depth of field like your cheap digital camera. Anyway, great pictures of what is a great looking layout. Love the "Two Pines Bridge" with the two pines, it's too cool!:D

Your Station I CAN HARDLY WAIT!:D

Switches I don’t think you can go wrong with code 80 Peco’s. Their “snap action” will keep it simple and if you want to go under table later you always can do that. Even at that you will find you will be cutting ties and throw rods to fit things in the allotted space. One thing I have always...

Early Morn Even the Milk Man is on his way!

A Spin on the Turntable After servicing all three engines are turned and ready fot a trek down the main to Terlingua. In a day or two I'll wake up the crew at the Edwards Mill.
