The ER&I ordered their Willamette Yarder from Williams Logging Supply ( a subsidary of SWC Backshop) last year. It stayed outside all winter rusting and awaited the arrival of the lumber for the sled.
The sled lumber recently arrived by rail, so work will begin on the project. This will be a fully covered yarder with all the bells and whhistles. The crew has already named it the ER&I Flyer.
I will document it here with more postings. Stay tuned!
Forgot to add: It is 7/8 scale. (And so are the buildings in the background)
