Those are too cool for school, Pitchy, great work.

Wife's grandfather ran a steam donkey in the timber , logging operations around Westwood and Chester, CA, long long ago, have a couple pictures of him next to the contraption. Would be hard for modern people to imagine what it took to get the logs out in those days.

Now THATS what I call a post of substance and creativity. :D Ole Pitchy even has the logs on the flatbed car. This was so good I actually came out of the basement dungeon to show the better half.

Got the old truck there and the little man.

Your one of a kind Pitchy. :D Thanks for taking the time to show us.--------6

Cool, if ya can post pictures I`d love to see them. 8)
There`s a old logging grade by me from around 1893 that we have walked and explored, here`s some pics of it and some of the stuff we`ve dug up which was ten inches underground.
Thanks Sixgun. :)

These are all pics of where the grade was.

Pitch, I have one of those little steam engines and the parts to build a simple logging loco. Just need to get her done. With six inches of rain expected the next few days, who knows! Nice work!
