Here's a few shots of a laout that made it's debut at the Hills Model Rail Society's annual exhibition held at Castle Hill, Sydney, Aust. It is over 15 metres (50') long and the detailing is something to be seen. I have full sized 1600x1200 shots of these, and other, images for those interested. They are scaleable over 200% of original. 4 images 640x480 @ 96K average. Gary. ------------------ Gary A. Rose The Unofficial TC&W page N to the Nth degree!
Hey Gats, I'd like to see those photos. Can you post them on the web for download somewhere? My pipe can handle it, how about through NNTP to alt.binaries.pictures.rail ?
What superb photos of superb scenery and structures - I am green with envy! They are some of the most realistic scenes I have ever seen!! ------------------ Alan The perfect combination - BNSF and N Scale! www.ac-models.com Andersley Western Railroad Alan's American Gallery Alan's European Gallery Alan's British Steam Gallery
Yep Green with envy here too. what scale is it. The Gazette ought to do an article on this one....Mike ------------------ Its only Money !!
Great Pics and modeling! I'm glad you shared them with us, but if this is O scale, you might post them on their forum too! (OK, I see you have...) ------------------ RAILROADING-TO-THE-MAX!

Gats, In my next lifetime I won't be able to do anything like that. The layout should be in MR at least or some other publication. Really spectacular!!!!!! ------------------ When in doubt, empty your magazine.
Brent, I felt they fitted here for the moment as they would get the most exposure. I placed a note in the O scale forum. Chris, if you wanted to do this in the next lifetime, make sure you are independantly wealthy! The sawmill took 6 months solid work. The layput was 2-1/2 years in the making. From the show guide. 'The "Red Stag Lumber Co." is a freelance representation of US Pacific Northwest logging during the 1930's & 40's. Four narrow gauge modellers (Geoff Nott, Steve Pettit, Michael Flack, & Ray Walter) have each constructed sections which, when combined, form the integrated layout you see here today. The layout has been represented in On3 with the track hand-laid to a scale 3 foot gauge. The actual logging operation is depicted by the felling and loading of trees at the timberline, and transportation of cut logs through the forest to the sawmill. One of the features of the "Red Stag Lumber Co." is the dominance and grandeur of the huge redwood trees typical of the area modelled.' The redwood trees form the support for the valance above. Note this in the bottom photo, above. Gary. ------------------ Gary A. Rose The Unofficial TC&W page N to the Nth degree!
Thanks for these great pictures Gary. I have started collecting logging pictures as I will be building scenes hopefully similar but in N scale. There is room for logging and the sawmills on my M.A.T. I need the inspiration of modellers who have such talent ------------------ Robin Maberly and Tayside
love that "wig-wam" I remember them well. Darn EPA...LOL.. What a truly inspirational layout! ------------------ espee2 Home: www.tunnel13.com layout: SP's Newberg Branch in N scale
