Last Spring I extended the logging siding by about 15 ft or so. I always liked the way the log siding looked but never get to run trains on a regular basis through the siding. Since i dont do operations I always thought I needed a way to run service through that area on a regular basis. I spent the last year gathering some track and then came up with a plan. I decided that I would extend the siding and hook it into the main line. I layed the track out from the end of the logging siding and had it hook up to the end of my s curve by the mine siding. The yellow playdo container marked the end of the logging siding
The log siding is on left. Track loops around. The old portable sawmill will become a tannery.
This is where the track ties back into the main line.

Overview of the new siding
Next step will be to level and balast the new siding. Then when the weather warms i will plant some nice bushes or spruce trees along the new siding. I test ran my steamer and my indy through the new siding and all ran great even with no leveling.
