What a beautiful model, and a very helpful article. Please can you follow this up with an article, either here or in the MR magazine, on detailing a sawmill. Turn of the century and modern please.

Most importantly though is where we can obtain the detail parts for these as they seem to be very hard to locate (unless you wealthy enough to afford Sierra West products!).

@Keith: A sawmill is one of the industries documented in Jeff Wilson’s next book, Industries Along the Tracks 4.

@Richard: There have been quite a few articles on this. Kamlbach even publishes a book on the subject, though the Diesel section is only about 20% of the book.

I am in the process of constructing a new layout that will include a lumber transloading facility and distribution warehouse. Your article has given me several great ideas and I’m most thankful that you fellows are willing to share your expertise and skills with the rest of us.

Next can we look at diesel engine servicing facilities in a future segment in model railroader? I’m headed that way myself.

Thanks and keep your eyes on the tracks ahead.

I am looking at a lumber yard for my layout. I have already purchased a Cornerstone HO scale kit, Walton & Sons Lumber Co. and plan to utilize some of the ideas in this article to add to my layout. It was a very good and informative article. I am trying to stay in the early years up to about 1970.

Kits & Large details have changed alot in last 20-30 years. BUT the small to smallest details haven’t , And it’s the modeler that makes IT!!! Job well done ,Looks great

I like that you are recycling models for your club layout. Even though the model builder is gone his art lives on to be seen again and inspire others.

Thanks!!
