This the next in the series of different logging cars I’m building. I’ll try to document the build better with pics.

#2

Cool - Her’s a similar car, being used in a similar way, at a backwoods loading platform…

Excursion cars of the Little River Rail Road in what is now the Great Smokey Mountains National Park: Observation Car “Elkmont”

OK, and why not a whole passenger train on the way to what is now the Elkmont Campground

Logging operations kept expanding and looking for additional sources of income. I can see another section with excursion cars in my future.

Yes,
The crew cars were used on special occasions for families as well as the crew.
My prollem is going to find about a hunnert grizzled old loggers to put in the car. :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

And more than one of the more prosperus(sp) logging outfits actually used old passenger cars to move the crew.

Along with your camp cars, as well. :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

I like this one too. I may build one of each.

Those aren’t logs, they are loggers! I guess if they were arguing they would be at loggerheads…

False advertising!

Seriously, will you populate the cars too? That would be a lot of work, but look great.

Greg,
I can’t afford a population! :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

Maybe one or two loggers.

Ya know, I was thinking that with a group that large, you only need legs and torsos on the first couple of rows. The rest could be just heads and shoulders. Just cram 'em in like sardines :smiley:

Hell’s bells John it’s only 100+ loggers per car . How hard can that be to model? :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

I think them are “logger cars,” not “logging cars.”
