STARTING with a KIT
I purchased a Woodland Scenics “Scenic Ridge” kit to help start my layout. The enclosed n scale track plan will need to be modified for better use for a railroad logging layout.
I figured it would be easier to start with a kit for a few reasons;
• more cost effective than buying separate items
• the track kit is included (code 80 Atlas track pack)
• the kit can be modified to many different layout configurations
• this layout fits a 3’ x 5’ area, smaller than my planned 4’ x 6’ layout
The hard part of planning will be trying to include elements from all 3 prototypical logging operations and fitting as many elements as I can and not over-crowd the scenes. I’d like to include a mountain at various elevations, a waterfall, stream and logging pond, a main lumber mill, a smaller spike camp mill, a spar hoist, engine maintenance yard, a small town and logging camp & operation.
Some layout ideas I like:
Some elements I want to incorporate for the main mill site.
