Don’t miss this exclusive HO scale Milwaukee, Racine & Troy steel cupola caboose.
Hi, I’m a new subscriber to MR VideoPlus and have watched all the videos in this awesome series of blogs. Can you please advise as to whether this is the final part or do you plan to record more? Many thanks
David, have always noticed your tremor in building videos. Part of the reason I retired was an intentional tremor was becoming a problem in my work. I still like building models and was wondering if you have any suggestions on how you work so well with this going on.
Finally found time to finish my Surry Parker Log loader. Without your step by step instructions and advice provide in the build I don’t think I would have been able to finish it. It looks awesome. Thank you for the videos and keep up the great work on MR Video Plus.
David, very nice, cant believe the Log Blog and this series for this layout is still going strong, nice work.
Hey Mr. Popp, Great episode! When using the weathering solutions is there a certain ratio of solution to water/alcohol? Also, will you be running a new op. session with the new additions to the Olympia. Thanks for all your hard work to make these video the best on the web!!
Jose
thank you share this build log load for layout as great detail watching
Amazing! I’m jealous of your vision when planning!
Thanks for sharing your build David!
Excellent modeling on the log loader, David! It and the sawmill should be the highlights of Olympia 2 for viewers. As a subscriber to the Narrow Gauge and Short Line Gazette from Day One, glad to see them credited for the loader plan. Keep up the great work in On30…can’t wait to see Olympia 3! 😉
David,
After watching the Log Blog video, I realized that I had seen the log loader before. Sure enough, there was an article by Jim Findley in the Model Railroader February 1982 issue. Took me awhile to find it. I still enjoyed your scratch building of the model.
Inspirational modeling David. Anyone who had an interest in scratch building unique equipment or buildings for their layout now has the ultimate videos to urge them on. I assume the loader was built with the adjustable legs so that it could be transported by a flat car to any location and set up quickly at a new logging site. Thanks David.
Fantastic log loader David, there is nothing like scratch building. It’s a one off and looks perfect, I love all the details. This layout is really coming to life.
Gorgeous model David! It was fun to watch you do it. Even though I am not needing a log loader, some of your techniques will go to other projects waiting on my layout.
Man-o-man, superb attention to detail to make a truly fine scene!!
Looks like an NMRA “Merit Award” certificate can be had.
Beautiful model Dave!!
That turned out great, David! The whole scene looks terrific! Excellent weathering, too! You’re a great inspiration! Thanks!
David, Is there a reason you did not use canopy glue to hold the roof panels on? Great model.
Great job. The Art of Scratchbuilding lives! Lots of useful techniques, and plenty of inspiration to boot. Bravo!
WOW David that looks amazing I can’t believe how you can build incredible things from scratch
I’m still curious, David, about how the boom is moved left to right or the other way. Somehow the boom is positioned over the log deck in order to pick up the log of choice. Once that happens, the boom is then swung over the log car so the log can be lowered on to it. You have rigged the boom so the hook (tongs) can be raised and lowered; but I don’t see how it is turned.
Great looking
David, you’ve built a model you can truly be proud of!
