The Beaver Hole Hardwood Company Begins

What's the operational scheme?

I assume logs are the primary cargo.
Will you be manipulating "live" loads (IE moving scale logs on and off of the cars).

I see it is "point to point", a much talked about design goal in the MRR press.
However, have you considered a lift out, fold down, or otherwise removable section to enable continuous running?
I am a fairly hard core operations guy, but sometimes I find (particularly If I'm working on something in the room but not operating), that I just want to watch a train run by occasionally which is MUCH easier to accomplish if you don't have to keep stopping and reversing it.

I sure am glad 95% of the stuff I need to finish my setup has already been acquired (although I'm considering a temporary change from 1948 Ohio branch of PRR to 1995 FL industrial park regional Pinsley). PRICES are crazy right now. One new HO scale car is averaging $50!

Logs and whores. Not necessarily in that order. I just gotta figure out what to do about a whorehouse. It caint be too fancy, as this is a really low budget logging line. I think I'm going to use Bachmann's Plasticville trailer park set and make them seedy lookin. I have a whole set of ahem......beyond r rated white metal figures to use. The woods will be on the left side as you walk in the room and the sawmill and "whatever" town happens to pop up around it will be on the right. Kitty's trailer park of ill repute will have to be stuffed in a corner somewhere on the "wrong" side of the tracks. It will be set sometime in the late 30s or early 40s. I haven't nailed it down, yet.
