Planned scenes include a dog harbor for shipment of the lumber to California, the sawmill, a log landing in the forest, and the interchange with the standard gauge.

The book "Mallets on the Mendocino Coast - Caspar Lumber Company", by Ted Wurm, ISBN 0-0650213-4-3, has some excellent photos of "Dogholes" ( dog harbor ). I am still kicking around the idea of using the 2' X 14' available space, in my basement, to build an On30 "Switchback to an under - the - wire loader, where a small ( 58' - 68' ) lumber schooner could be taking on a load of milled lumber, via "highline transfer". At 68' the schooner model would be 17".
We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
