Great progress, even if summer has not impressed the rest of the family. I can envisage plenty of train "lost" in the wilderness scenes as this progresses. Wonderful is an old fashioned word but surely appropriate to the era you are portraying.
Suggestion: where the creek, at landisburg, goes into the backdrop. You were going to put a house on stilts. Wouldn't it be cool to maybe do a copy of the Babcock gristmill?
This is so inspirational for me! I love the old logging equipment and the way you're designing the layout. I love watching how you're coming up with the plan and how it all comes together to be a fully functional operations focused layout.
Thanks, I got it out of the West Virginia narrow gauge book on the Manns Creek. Inside the book there is a drawing of it. It may have been published somewhere else, I’ll have to check
@@crownironman Yeah I live in the North woods. Sadley there is very little left of it. There is #5 the 1925 2-8-0 Baldwin and the Business car. They dummied up a log car, and the 3 pieces, are displayed at Pioneer park in Rhinelander
I enjoy your updates. I added my second squeeler, I enjoy the animation. I would like to hear the "squeel" a bit more consistently but that is just my idea. I am looking forward to talking to you at the Modelers Retreat.
Oh what a brilliant and simple idea damn wish I thought of that when I built my track. would Neod mags work inside a car just over the actual track as well? o
Good to know. I am starting construction on the Dolly Varden mine where the controlling grade was 5%. Also in On3 but will have brass Shay and Climax motive power. But I suspect my plastic 0-4-0 will struggle to get anything up
Wow - I thought the two painted log cars were real wood - and I am looking at them again on a 27" 5K screen. There is one brief moment when the camera is struggling to focus that maybe I can't see grain BUT at that moment the car is at least twice full size on the screen. Incredible progress.
@@crownironman I would appreciate that. I have some resin kits I need to paint in the peculiarly British scale of 1:19. (16mm : 1foot!!! so O gauge equates to 2 foot gauge prototype)
