Productions continues its well received Modeling the Prototype series
with an in-depth look at one of the most popular model railroad
subjects - the logging industry. This video closely examines not
only the operations of several logging railroads, but also how the
trees were cut, loaded and then unloaded at the sawmill.
Then, to
really get the creative sap flowing, we'll show how three great
modelers have applied the prototype practices to their layouts.
.
The prototype railroads featured on this vdeo were shot with film
cameras between the 1920's and the 1960's. The film has been transferred
to a Broadcast format and edited in our broadcast quality suite.
Featured railroads include the Westside, Rayonier, Mower, Ely-Thomas,
Grasse River RR, and more.
We also visit
the outstanding layouts of Bob Clarke, Dr. Charles Patti, and
Lou Ullian, each predominantly built around the logging industry.
All three layouts have been featured in the modeling press. They
are highly detailed and exemplify the complete industry, from
trees to sawmills.
Logging railroads
were well known for their "make do" approach to railroading.
Each of these layouts feature this approach. As a bonus, Bob Clarke
will show how to make ground cover quickly and easily.
Written by
Tom Beaton, a recognized authority on logging railroads, this
video will inspire you when the chips are down.
