Where do I find model kits for structures for logging railroads in 1900?

Welcome to the forum, Frank20!

I can’t answer your question, but I think you will have better luck posting the question on the Model Railroad thread of the forum. You can find it under “Categories”.

I can’t find this if you have reposted in a different area, but one great source for logging info is Narrow Gauge and Short Line Gazette magazine. You’ll see many ads for logging related buildings, and often articles relating to logging railroads.

Welcome to the forum!

You might want to be a bit more specific. Are you referring to equipment in the woods? The sawmills at the other end? There are many kits on Ebay - just type “HO scale logging”. Some, like KMP models, are really nice - and really expensive. Kitbashing is a lot cheaper, and a lot more fun in my opinion. You can find a lot of old kits for that purpose at local train shows.

B.T.S. has a bunch of logging and lumber kits as part of their McCabe Lumber Company kits. The kits are laser cut wood with lost-wax brass details. I haven’t built any since they’re way, way too early for my interests. But they seem like nice models.
