Ah, He just was creative enough in the camera angles, so as to not show the blood. I mean, that’s what I do.
Wow, I didn’t realize just how much I had missed on this thread. looks great Doc.
In between the prep work and an actual medical mission team to Haiti and the clinical work at the rural health center in Kentucky I have squeezed in some modeling time.
I have completed the pole/Log bents for the rustic wooden trestle over the rivulet feeding into Kit Creek. The scenery is in the dirt layer It will be overlaid with leaves, Shrubs and eventually trees will be planted.
I also spent a few weeks of spare time painting Bachmann on30 log cars for this backwoods operation. They started out looking like this.
And ended up looking like this.
Thanks for looking. All comments welcome.

yes, real life can sometimes be in the way of modeling.
but people can’t wait - models can.

I would really like to give you a full 100% answer on this query Ric. However I do not think it would be fair to Doc Tom and his awesome thread for me to respond correctly. I do believe that some of the information on that link could be found resourceful with history and railroading.
Short answer Ric …searching out history.
Long answer Ric… Try a google search on “what did transgender circus midgets do at the turn of the century on layovers between towns while riding the rails with the show”.

How is the back woods still going …them workers need to unwind ?
Thanks guys for the (+) feedback and the “Rooster musings”… that was a good archeological article on the good time house.
Here’s a little more about the backwoods:
Further up the line on the “Woods” side of the mini layout is the log landing of the original Kittom Lumber Company.
Constructed of cut logs it provides a handy storage for the timber heading down line to the log dump.
This is in the first "dirt layer “………more scenic details to follow.
I am starting research for an early 20th century log loader and rigging for the site. If you have any prototype pictures from 1900– 1920 I would love to take a gander.
Thanks for your interest. Doc Tom
Its coming along great Tom. Love the Backwoods look and feel. My type of layout.

Thanks Shawn. I literally brought the garden indoors. The “dirt” is a mixture of dirt from the garden and scenic express ground foams.

Doc Tom,
That is looking great! Obviously before OSHA got involved, since that mountain of logs is sitting above those guys.
Rooster, saw your post, no I don’t.

Thanks Ric. Early 20th century logging was extremely dangerous. Been amazed at how nonchalant the guys posed for pictures on top of log loads that could shift in a moment.
Doc Tom
Finally have all the dirt down and bonded to the “woods” side of the mini layout.
Started planting some grass in the dirt…nice product from Silfor. Will later dry brush in some brown variety as this is supposed to be wintertime.
Thanks for looking. Tom
