I once did a couple of articles on the subject of steam powered logging skidders for Narrow Gauge & Short Line Gazette: the idea being that they make great foreground models on a logging railroad and can also be used as attention-grabbing flat car loads that are just "passing through the scene" on the way to their next job.
Having done that -and having built several models of different prototypes to illustrate the article- I then promptly packed the models away and have rarely used them since. But they're going down by invitation to an NMRA shindig tomorrow to run on the '20s and '30s modular layout, so I thought I'd dust 'em off and take a couple of quick photos for anyone who's interested in beat-up, rusty, half-worn- out logging hardware.
Enjoy!
