That my freind is the Lombard Log hauler! One of my favorite pieces of equipment. I belive it is brought out once a year.
Now that would make a great model!

Love that log hauler Gardenrrguy, I am going to make me one of those.

Works now Shamus...

Cam, that is nice! Do you suppose if you trace the family trees back a few hundred years, Paul and Geoff are distant cousins? They seem to share a modeling gene

 

[camelot]

They are both leading modelers in this genre and an inspiration to those of us with limited imaginations.

If you don't have snow for the Lombard:

Maybe The Beast would make a nice project. Better built up a chruch or two before releasing that on the layout though!

OK, I added an "A"

 

[Gardenrrguy]

Got to love the name of that hauler "The Beast"

Look at the size of the wheels on that thing!

This looks like a great on-line book-like link, called Traditional Logging in the Adirondacks. Can't wait to spend some time reading it...
