Tom,
Yes and no! they are old, MDC 3 pack cars that surfaced shortly before I started my rebuild. I painted them up for the C&S , thinking to use them as interchange cars, to get logs off of the Southern interchange, as back in the day, I was heavy on the sawmill side of the picture, and short on the logging camp side of the picture, and your outfit was exactly the opposite. Likely that is how they will eventually be used, when I get my Southern Staging in, and get enough operational log cars to work the new layout with more camps, and bigger log trains. So they are old, and they are C&S cars, but they are not OLD C&S cars. I do have some old C&S cars in boxes, and those will come out, as I have more track available to park log cars.
I have almost all of the track in on the upper deck, and will be needing to decide what to do next, Get the Southern staging in, and get interchange action going, or do the lower deck to the return loop, and get the big logging camp @ flea Creek , and the Iron Works in. decisions , decisions.
started a creek bed in front of the loading area, down a steep ravine, but I'm getting an error when I try to upload a photo, so I'll try again.
