While reading through my new book I noticed a lot of logging railroads had loaders on flat cars. Of course just when I thought I had the rolling stock I needed I find something else. I plan making one eventually to fit in with my KMRR. Does anyone have any plans for a simple loader? Im thinking of just using a flat car and then adding the loader on. What was use for the crane part in those days (late 1800-early 1900)? If anyone has any pictures of G scale loaders can you post thanks
Shawn…check MLS there was a post in Modeling there a week or so ago.
Shawn,
Here are a couple of links to sites pertaining to logging I have bookmarked.

The following link is not currently working, but the domain is valid.
Nice to see someone from my old stomping grounds. I was born in River Vale and lived for a good number of years in Paramus.
Good luck, and I hope these help.
Bob
Good luck
