Welcome Aboard . . . the L L . . . a Little Logging Railroad

a work in progress 

celebrating circa 1910-20

created by Rodney Frey of Moscow, Idaho

Begun in December 2007, I had sought to honor my Dad by running his "Challenger" and "Big Boy" HO steam locomotives around the Christmas Tree.  He had passed on a couple of years prior.  So I picked up some code 100 Atlas track and an inexpensive DC transformer at the local hobby shop, and the 30-year-old-plus steam engines circled around the living room floor just fine, though not something my wife would allow me to maintain there for long! Well, one thing led to another, and by February 2008 I had drawn up some plans for something a little more . . . . . . .

The Plan and Track Work	Rock, Earth, Brush and Roads	Trees
Pond and Streams	Buildings and Structures	Human and Animal Figures
DCC and Locomotive Power	Rolling Stock, Painting and Weathering	Tools and Maintenance, and Photographing Your Diorama

Current Overview
(sequence of images as of January 2009) 

And the imagining continues.  Its all fun!  Your suggestions, comments and critique are most welcomed and appreciated.  We are all a part of a wonderful model railroading community.
