Excellent work John. Always impressed with your attention to the subject at hand

Well done John. Beautifully detailed trains.

Love the car at 1:05. I’m not a logging expert, but I think that is a skidder; yes?

Beautiful.
What scale was I looking at?

You are looking at three different scales, Bruce.
The tractor is 7/8" Side dumps are Bachmann’s rescaled to 7/8"
Diesels and train are LGB’s 1/22???
Loggers are 1:20.3

Jon, it’s some kind of heavy skidder, 3D printed.
I’ll get some more info for you.

SWC Backshop calls it a 6 drum yarder.

Thanks John - it’s awesome. With the extended side walkway it would never get around my RR. To many very close clearances.

I think the walkways are removable.
I scratch built the 40’ flat car it is riding on in the video.

Beautiful build John.
What was used for the cables, they look very good?
I have one of these sitting in a box waiting for a rountoit.

That particular model was built and finished by Mike Williams (SWC Backshop)
On the donkeys I built, I use braided cord of various diameter from
