Seems there's one or two here who like :train 'S
So here we go my project is to make a backwoods shay ... It will look something like this when finished ...
I'm thinking of adding a hoist/winch system on front like this ...
The Donner's ... Are shown below ... First off we have a On30 two truck Shay (1/48)
Then We have a On30 log skidder which I hope to use the vertical boiler & donkey engine on the front of the loco ...
The skidder & loco have been disassembled and modifications have started ...
The boiler off the skidder was too small in diameter to fit over motor ... So I'll filling the area under old T boiler ... Which will be the source of steam power in my sawmill that I plan on building for my next module ...
