    Hello,

    FYI, here is my logging layout I move around US and Canada to exhibitions. The layout is 1' x 16' point to point. Everything is crafted by myself. I only have one shay that I bought in store and one little truck from Woodland Scenic. All the rest is hand made. The particularity of this layout is the lighting which reproduces night & day ambiance... Feel free to comment...

    ...and one little Model Power 4-4-0, but that's beside the point. In a word: beautiful!!!

    Beautiful job! And I really like the way you made your 'viewer information panels' fold up to protect each section during travel. Great work, thanks for sharing the pics!

    Oh yeah, I saw this here in Montreal, very nice work! I have two Shay's now and I think about your layout fairly often as inspiration to make my own logging layout. The lighting couldn't be seen very well at the Laval show, but I saw it in a darker lobby at the Exporail museum a few years ago and was very impressed!

    This is fantastic! You can probably tell by my avatar that I love logging subjects.

    Do I see one of the Climax locos from a randgust kit on here? I have one of those, too.

    Yes if I remember well, it is based on a kit, maybe the one you mentioned...
    Here are other pictures of it...
