Layout Details

Of particular interest to the loggers and those interested in working machinery among you, we have lined up a very interesting tour. These days it is very rare to be able to see a full sized multi-spool logging engine (donkey) working but here’s your chance to see some working 1.5” scale donkey engine models. A group of local modelers sets up every summer to run a scale logging operation, complete with a highline yarder pulling in logs from the canyon and a loader picking them up and loading them onto log cars for the train to haul the logs “to the mill”. The great thing about these 1/8 scale machines is that they operate just like the real ones.
