The Beaver Lumber Company
As promised, photos of my new mega diorama or smaller layout, anyway you want to see it. 4meters long.
Now let me begin to say that I am NO racist, but in this case it is a Sierra West builds layout only. No others allowed.
The long layout consists of several SW builds I've made ( not all of them due lack of space. The two modules had to fit in my car..) All the trees you see on the layout are home made. The rocks are plaster.
The Beaver Lumber Company is actually the Sawmill and all the buildings that go with it. The story behind the BLC, you can read in one of the previous On30 annuals. The name Beaver came from the name of a lake, Beaver Lake that was purchased by the Branson family in the end of the 19th century. Together with all the forests around it. ( it is also my scout totem name... 'Natural Beaver' , Got it for being a creative person who likes being in nature..)
So enjoy the pics.
Thanks for watching and thank you Brett for these wonderful kits that gave me several years of building pleasure.
As always, those who want high resolution photos, just send me a message with your email.
Now I hit the road with this Sierra West layout and then back to the bench...

Amazing modeling. Thanks for the pics.

fantastic..
Those two models are awesome. Looks like another article for On30 must be on the horizon. But just when you thought you had your two modules complete Brett surprised us all with another gem. So either you will need to squeeze this new kit in somewhere or start a third module. These modules look like the perfect setting for a velocipede and handcar shed and a handcar. It would be the perfect way to get small supplies out to the crews felling trees.

The Beaver Lumber company modules have cleverly worked in so many of the SWSM O-Scale kits but the one kit that got my attention was The Blue Sky Company. A truly awesome and unexpected woodland setting for such a great build. Great to read the article in On30 and see the kit build featured.

Was also chosen Best of show...
Lousy photo taken by the journalist, ( he was wrong about the scale also ...) but you get the idea... There was also an radio interview taken with me about this layout..
The comment also says: an incredible sense of detail...
Next show is in two weeks.. BLC hits the road guys.. Not much time for the bench now, but I'm following your efforts and will be back soon..
