Hi all,

My name's Daniel, and I'm an Australian modeling the Pacific Northwest of the United States in On30 scale.  My layout is based on a freelanced logging railroad, the Bradford Valley Lumber Company, and is set during the year 1947.

A History of the Bradford Valley Lumber Company

Put this video together for those that have asked in the past couple of months about the subject.  As I point out this is my approach to the subject.  But hope it will help some in the hobby understand it has to be done.

Here are some pictures of my latest rolling stock project. (Not the loco) I am going to enter it in my annual local NMRA/NCR/Division 6 Fall Show this Sunday. This show is something we do every year on the first Sunday after Thanksgiving.

It is open to the public and is a Show & Tell type of show. There are no sales just show the public what Model RR is all about.

The track on the North Section is finally complete. The elapsed time was longer than the south section, but that was due to real life getting in the way of the trains. Overall, I think the effort was less for this section than the first. Compared to the south section, I made a couple of minor changes in approach.

This is a freelanced railroad, loosely based on the Reading Railroad from Reading to Philadelphia.  I started construction in November 2012.  Now, one year into it, I am starting my first Blog.

Most of the areas I've completed so far have been rural scenes or isolated industries.  Now I'm working on the first actual town.  Welcome to Milton, UT.

Well the purpose of building two GE 85 Ton Locomotives was so I could run them in an open pit much like they did for HBMS Flin Flon and in the Bingham Canyon Pit Utah, if not in other places as well.

Lenz This blog will cover the mechanical rebuild and improvement for electrical pickup on a Mantua 0-4-0 steam engine.
