#207 Logging Camp Essentials
Hi all-
I figured I'd post some pics in of my Logging Camp diorama. I entered it in a regional NMRA event this weekend and scored 115 pts and a first place. Here are a few pictures:

I can attach the picture files, but all that shows up is a red "x". What am I doing wrong?
Cant wait to see them on the big screen inside later, after I finish the yard ''work'...
Congrats on your accomplishment, and also on getting a well deserved '1st place'

I got the picture thing figured out...it has something to do with IE. I clicked on that "compatibility view" icon on the right side of the browser window and the pictures showed up. Mine were the only ones one the forum I couldn't see. Goofy...
By the way, congrats on the new forum. Looking good!
If mine turns out half as good as that I'll be happy.
cheers

Have you started Essentilas yet?
I have built most of the buildings just not the station.
Yours is on the side of a hill, something I haven't had a go at yet, the ones I have done have all pretty much been on the flat. I don't have anywhgere I can build the larger dioramas anymore, so I am currently working on the woodcutters shack, I can pretty much do that at the kitchen table.
Do you have any larger pictures of your scene I can access?
cheers
Dave
LOVED the train station...it's a great, fun structure to build. Here's mine:
Building the hill side is pretty straight forward as laid out in the manual. It's really just built up from 3 pieces of foam insulation, castings and sculpt-a-mold:
As far as bigger pictures, I think the ones on my Flickr page may be bigger. If not, I can upload some larger ones here. Here's the link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/33489659@N04/sets/
One day I'll hopefully get to build it,.... but bigger....... (O)
'Till then I'll enjoy seeing your build of it, and any others.

Just out of curiosity, what industries do folks have buying lumber from Deer Creek (or whatever names you've chosen for it)? Besides the Foss Shipyard that is.
They make paper products..... from the pulpwood.
To name just one.
Maybe you should start a new topic with this question Mike, regarding subsiduary industries...

" R. Sole" used to be , and may still be , a shoe shop on The King's Road in London . Just thought I'd throw that in ,
