Hi folks, I am new to this forum but not to model railroading. I didn't know about this forum until i started reading a thread started by HOexplorer. I met him on another site. Lots of good reading. I started out with about 3 years of layout plans and starting to buy the kits and getting things ready for the layout itself. This last year i finally got a plan i liked and started and as i figured that some things just don't fit right. I had to make three changes to it just in the last couple of months. Right now it is foam with plaster over it. Using Kato track and turnouts. As the title says this is a logging and lumber co based loosely on many of the old logging lines around the 1920's or so and in West Virginia where i was born. I can remember when there was still old steam rumbling down the tracks near my familys home. We lived in Kessler and that is close to Rupert. Down the road The old sawmill in the Meadow creek is most likley gone. I worked in a sawmill up north in the Charlestown area. That was in Greenbrier county so i used that name. The local rr was the Nicholas-Fayette Greenbrier RR. It had connections with the then C&O RR. I don't have a lot of room in the home. Its a 5th wheel rv that we do fulltiming. I t is 3X5 ft and gives you 15 sq feet of layout to work with. Large in the home but way smaller than some i have seen. It fits me good so i am happy. Now if i can figure out how i can get pictures from my computer to here...I know i can but need to remember how. seems each site has a different way of doing it. Have a good day, Dan, (Ole Smokey)View attachment 50437View attachment 50438View attachment 50439View attachment 50440
