A drinking thread with a history problem!

Yea John, as Dave said, that’s the real thing.

Here is another one I really like. It is/was a 24 ton Heisler built for the Elk River Mill and Lumber co. in
1927. Sold to a scrapper in the late 1930’s who junked the boiler and sold the rest to Mutual Plywood who installed a Murphey Diesel on board and used it as a mill yard switcher up into the 1960’s. It changed hands a couple more times and ended up at Timber Heritage in Samoa, CA. It still runs but really isn’t operational.
Make a great model though

Here is a pic I took years ago in the Samoa roundhouse.

Here is a strange beastie built by Whitcomb. I think Bachmann mat have an On30 model like it.

Have Fun, David Meashey

Bachmann had a Large Scale one similar as well. I have used 3 of them in a kit bash projects. They are good fodder for that and good runners on their own.

I thought so too, but finding a junk Heisler is pretty difficult!

Amen to that I have been looking for years.
