Thanks for posting these Lloyd,  Just beatiful stuff.  Love those Clydes!  Maybe Gerd will post a few new ones of his loader also. It would be nice to see what others are doing in log loaders.. You mentioned the site "Steam in the woods" Am I doing something wrong or is this site not working? Maybe Mark will be on soon and I can ask him..Randy

I think Marc had to take the site offline because people were making unauthorized use of his photos. -- Russ

Those things are incredible. Makes an old gearhead's heart go 'pitter-pat'.

Hello,

About the fabulous website of Marc, it is really dramatic to lose one of best the information sources on logging railroad!
And I think also for many model makers!
I looked at this site during many hours and I learned much  things on the logging!
Enclosed photo of scratchbuilt Double End Loadder in HO, made with styrene and RGM détail parts.
Sincerely!

Lloyd

Keep them coming Lloyd, I love them....Russ, Hopefully it can get worked out for the site.....Randy

Sorry to come in so late here....been busy.

Beautiful models of some rerely modeled equipment. Really love the Universal loader.... I have never seen a model of one of these before.....It's one of my favorite pieces of equipment. You guys should really be proud of your models.  Somwhere in my boxes of photos I have a pic of a Universal Loader tipped on it's side with the booms bent....I have about 7-10 pics of a McGiffert on its side as well.


....Insofar as the website is concerned, I doubt it will be coming back....and if so at least not in the next 5-10 years.

I didn't "Have To"....I "Chose To"....

Hello Compadre,

thanks Marc for this reply!

You do not have maybe  the time, but with your mega collection of photograph you will be able to make THE book of Logging equipment !

So for scrathbuilt models it possible to require photos of you?

Sincerely!

Lloyd

Boom !

Yes, I will continue to help people with images and information, HOWEVER:

It will be on a case-by-case basis; depending on if I think it is a worthwhile project, how I feel/what I know about the person requesting the images (can I trust this person/entity), and how much info they require (do I have the time to find and prep the information needed.....I have a day job and a life too  )

I used to get a lot of requests by people that wanted a print of this or that image for their model room, or some such thing, and from modelers that kept asking for more, and more......not respecting/understanding the time or effort it took on my end......and really not even building what I thought were quality models with the supplied info.........this will definitely not be done any more. I will also not help people that make trying to help them "difficult" ...IE e-mail accounts that can't handle large  or multiple files, can't work/operate an FTP application, or can't figure out how to open/run a CD with images. (Basically if they're to dumb to work with the medium I definitely will not waste my time.)
