Twin Falls Mining & Logging Railroad - On30 Scale.

P L E A S E R A T E & C O M M E N T !
Twin Falls Mining And Logging Railroad. On30 Scale.
This is my next door neighbour and his son's model railway. It is based on an American Logging railroad around in the 1900's.
All the buildings are scratchbuilt, yes, all. Even the saw mill, that is completley scratchbuilt using real wood. Even the equipment inside is all scratchbuilt!
This layout won 1st place in Basildon Model Railway Show in 2008, and, 2009!
If you would like anymore info, please leave a comment and I will try and find out for you.
Well done Michael & Dan, its fantastic.

What a work of art! The scenery makes me want to go camping.

Very good looking train layout.

[@Bisbonian]

Most convincing static waterfall I have ever seen. Nice work.

[@PapawsDadillacOEMplus]

Great detail top to bottom. amazing work

[@MarkRedshaw2]

Incredible detail..I especially like the hobo fire...excellent buildings.

[@larrymonske8086]

The lumber mill is spot on I love it.

[@mrhearse777]

I like this. It's to a standard I can only dream about , but I keep going to try to achieve this level of excellence. Moody filming in lower light levels shows off the loco lights. Like it !

[@TruegrassBoy]

Wow! Very realistic. Looks like the Cascades. This would be great to display in a museum as it would give a very realistic picture of railroading and lumber in the NW.

[@karelfromholland]

The whole layout of twin fall mining is amazing. The fire and the welding work was awesome. I am watching such videos from last 2 yrs and got inspired, and now making my own layout. Thanks to you. Avinash N Jagtap. India.

Hi again to all who has made comments about twin falls when myself and my dad where constructing the layout I would have never guessed it would have been such a munched loved layout thank you all again dan Lawrence twin falls

[@sotb3]

well Ben--i absolutely loved your endeavor and it makes me want to see the thing in person, unlike some of your videographic detractors, keep up the good work--we all get better with experience (except for those that were born already 'finished'--i wanted to say perfect but it was just too darn hard)--;)--your neighbors are not only talented but apparently quite committed--a fortunate thing for both father and son--wish them well-- regards--

[@09jrasner703]

i wish my porter looked like that... even though i scratch built a barrel board-by-board from an old N scale wooden hotel kit from before i was born, and before i bought from one of my friends, he had converted it to oil to suggest that it was a Hawaiian plantation locos. maybe when i get a little more work done to it i'll post a video 2 show everybody.

[@johnnyhuff148]

Germans are awesome modelers!

[@wastingtape]

Stobart -- What's the approximate size of the whole layout?

[@FoxIslandRailroadCo]

I'm gonna do that some day! :) I hope

[@BenFredDani]

Wastingtape - It was orignally 8ft x 4ft in two modules I think. But since, the mill has been added as another module, I think it may be another 4ft module so in all, 12ft long and 4ft wide, I could be wrong, I will try and find out for deffinate soon.

[@sotb3]

agreed! perhaps in OMSI or the fairly new Tillamook Forest Center--

[@durangoandsilverton]

i want to build a logging railroad

[@09jrasner703]

what state is this in?

[@The98Driver]

My dad has on30 but the gradient around the spiral is too steep so the small locos like the porter can only pull one truck up.

@johnny huff They are from the UK.

[@budm.1450]

WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER IF IT WAS IN FOCUS.
