My logging operation

[treemandan]

been bringing logs down from the north for a few weeks now

They come off the flat car

trucked to the mill

and turned into some of the finest lumber you can buy

 

[treemandan]

I love this truck, it is also used to salt the road

Using this to skid the logs out, it works for now.

Good trails in these parts

This guy goes full bore non stop all day, dresses like a lady at night

It looks fake?

 

[Nailsbeats]

Dan that is a killer setup, you must have a lot invested. Hope you make it through these lean times. Later bro.

How can you tell? Did the picture of the tree climber taped to the wall give it away?
My wife was pissed I cut up all the National Geo's but I made this thing basically from the box it came in. I spent 50 on the trees and gravel for the tracks which is a real pain. Those matchbox cars are only a dollar!

 

[ShoerFast]

Not me,,,,,

But there might be a few here that want to see how the guy that dresses like a lady looks after dark?

Regardless what they tell you, never grow up!

Oh its a work in progress. I saw a chipper and chip truck on the online train store.
Saw dust and food coloring are good for senery.

Took me a minute to find that hard workin' cross dressin' fruitcake in the last pic, but I see him on the springboard there.

My kid likes to play with it and its something I can do with her for now. We were home today cause of the weather but when she went for these we had to go to K-mart

She likes the little screwdrivers but I didn't think it was a good idea

We spent the rest of the day fixing the car.

Yeah that's him. I think he is hooking it though.

Its good to see a smooth well run outfit,it appears that you've got the permitting proccess licked,I suspect the price of fuel isnt to much of a hit either.Excellent job,be safe out there

Wow the trees and flora look different in PA than here in Ohio. I would have thought they would be more similar. Do you have pics of whole layout. Hopefully when all my kids are grown I can put a setup together. No time or place to do one right now,money too.

I barely have a 100 bucks into this. The green paper is just painted with some old left over paint and glued to look like that. The train set was like 60 bucks. Its nothing special like Lionel or anything. I made the buliding out of a box. The tunnel is just a cardboard skelaton with more paper glued to it.
If you bulit a real set up it would cost you some bucks. Hell, the train stores are open by appointment only... better bring some money then.

One good way to make terrain is to use styrofoam insulation sheets. You can glue them on top of each for elevation and mold them easily. Just paint them then and sprinkle some moss and stones on it. I am just waiting to find some free.

Very cool, please keep us updated.
I tell the old lady, would you rather I spent this money at a tavern?

How many fallers do you have working on that site?

I got a boxcar full of mexicans

 

[toddstreeservic]

When I was 18 or something I was flying a kite in Rockford Park, Wilmington,DE. Some dude drives by and yells out the window " Hey jerkoff! Kites are for children, stop playing with toys". The kite had a 12 foot wingspan by the way. Anyway I hollered back some more profanity and by the time he pulled a u-turn I had my damascus barrelled 16 gauge double barrel out from behind the seat of my 88 Ford Ranger and pointed into the window of his little car. Now that was funny.
