To Bill, Took the train from Whitehorse to Skagway in1979, but it was on narrow gage steel rails, and the town has grown a little since that photo was taken, To Don, Don't think Dick Karnes would approve of that type of track work. Bill

I am not sure if I have seen that before or not – I think I have. With logging I can see the appeal as it was a very homegrown “do whatever it takes” mindset. There won’t be any “discussions” of where that rivet really was or what color was ____. Just do it! I am curious as to how turnouts were made with logs! Some of the thoughts about building ____ posted here really boggles my mind at times. You have already separated yourself from the “pack” with a **considerable distance** by being an S Scaler. Add to it the thoughts of making a very obscure functioning line with log tracks. You must really like falling head first into a challenge!
