Hi All,

just found this photo along with others of the Tyra Sawmill in the Czech republic. Don't know if this website has been mentioned before as I'm relatively new to the forum but there is a huge collection of industrial photographs (and inspiration!) to be had here:-

a small project but am going to have to model the wagon at the back of the photo- love the huge timber bolsters at each end that space the channel sideframes...

James ,

  Whether this website has been mentioned on this forum I couldn't say, but I am familiar with it having been linked to it from one of the German forums . The most interesting photos to me are the ones of the various cranes , in particular the cranes of the Mayen-Basalt quarry , one of which which I fancy building one day .

  I also like the sawmill photo and the timber bolster wagons . So your's will  be done by Shepton Mallet then ? !

Nick,

so many ideas, so little time... if you can finish a crane for shepton then I'll match it with a wagon!  ;)

See you there either way.

James:

Thanks for posting the link to the Harold Finster photos. He's an excellent photographer and I've been following his work for years. His photographs are an absolutely wonderful resource for industrial subjects.

That Tyra sawmill is a real beauty, just crying out to be modelled by one of our logging types....

How's this for a scratch-built car...

I love that "scratch-built" car!! So much character - would make a great model! It looks like only a couple generations more advanced than the Flintstone's car.

Visit my website to see pics of the rugged and rocky In-ko-pah Railroad!

Cool.....Those were called one eyed buffalos in Korea. Note the headlight...... They were everywhere. The drivers were very dangerous as they would turn right in front of you with no warning.  Most had a trailer with cargo stacked 10 ' high.  :)
