1880's Colorado Narrow gauge on 45mm track
Hi,
Nice work; about the surry loader; there is a drawing, in small scale ,yes, to fit the magazine which is of Narrow Gauge & Short Line Gazette, there was also an article on building one on 'myLargeScale.com'.
That one could be dropped down onto a standard logging flatcar; when in use they are jacked up - by corner jacks, and the empty flatcars run underneath it, being pushed through to the front for loading.
As the site says, they were used up to the Mississippi river, more so in the south, of America. The shack on the end of the drop centre flat is the saw filers shed.
He has done a huge amount of work, and I like the (perceived ) size of his 'backyard' or in English 'garden'!
Thanks for the site Ross.
Yours Peter.

great find and nice "modellized".
As i always say:
reality is the best reason for modelling crazy things. Nearly all thinkable ideas went true...the genius ones and the stupid.
Mobile home for woodworkers though is really needed and an good idea. Most workers had to live in tents and -while raining- in the mud. So this is -beside the fact that its great for a modell- a big social invention. I like it. Well done with modelling!
Greetings
