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!

Some of you may know of Geoff Knott he lives in Sydney Australia and is owns the Leigh Creek logging company.This HO layout is a fairly well know , mountainous logging layout that is the subject of both a video and was the cover story in Great Model Railways 1993 edition.

What may be lesser known is that he and 3 other people got togeather and made a On3 modular exhibition layout called Red Stag , the link to the website is below , go there , your eyes will love you forever

Enjoy....

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 · 01-17-2003, 11:39 AM

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

I have never seen a web site for Leigh Creek , below is the web site for Great Model Railways which produce the video for Leigh Creek.There are a few pictures there which maybe of some interest.

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 · 01-21-2003, 06:48 PM

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

Look at the size of the wheels on that thing!

jimmybeersa · 01-21-2003, 11:11 PM

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...
