hi every one although new to the forum not at all new to the hobby started out in early 50s model in ho but started out with s scale first not very many things back then the reason for my responce to the shay article was if anyone saw the video that dream plan build video series vol 3 had on logging railroads in the 30s i found it to be very useful to any one that would like to model that era
