Thought you guys might like to see a little more work on my logging test track. I got a bit inspired and extended the tracks a little more. :o
I'm currently working out what looks best tree wise and doing a little mosaic work to improve the overall look.

Hope you guys like the overall look. I think it looks quite convincing. ;)

From the looks of those toothpicks on the flats, it's obvious that the old growth is being left in place!

Ahhhh!!!!

Look at that! Somebody actually know's what logging in the woods really looked like. All you need
are a few snags, broken trees, stumps and limbs along the right of way as actual logging roads never
looked this neat. That "SHAY" is looking real good! And the logs on those cars. All their lacking is the
smell of fresh cut timber. I'm looking forward to the upload of your mini route and the "SHAY" with
it's rolling stock + timber. How sweet it is!!!!!!!

Allen, those SP&S log cars with loads are already available here in the library in the flat cars section. ;)

Jon, your little logging module is really quite excellent!

Beautiful work, Jon! That is pretty elaborate for a "test track." It looks like the foundation for a first-rate mini-route to me. ;)

Thanks guys. I really appreciate your encouragement. ;)

I do have to emphasize Tim's comment about the SP&S log cars seeing as in fact they are Tim's creation.
I would love to be able to take credit for those fantastic models but I'm not quite the master modeler that Tim is.

The engine is the otten shay that has been in the Train Sim library for a very long time. Only the tender is mine at present.

Cheers

Jon

;) Sorry. I guess I got a little carried away with the great shots. Now I will back away bowing as I go.

Allen ;)
