f you enjoyed the article and photo- graphs on the On3 Coon Creek Lum- ber Company (page 40) and feel in- spired to build a logging line but don’t have any slim gauge equipment, then these photos (page 93) are for you. Not all logging lines were narrow gauge. There were plenty of lightly-built stan- dard gauge lines that headed through the woods and crossed trestles in search of timber to bring to market.
If narrow gauge does interest you, then you should check out our narrow gauge annuals. As the name implies, these issues are assembled once a year. The newest one, the 2013 HOn3 Annual, is just off press and its 116 pages are filled with lots of great modeling. Since these are not done in our office in New Jersey–Chris Lane edits them from his home in Colorado–the contents are a surprise to those of us working on RMC until the finished volume comes in from the printer. As usual, Chris had done a real nice job of mixing layout visits and modeling projects, all of which are geared toward the HOn3 modeler. While there isn’t the space to mention all of the 20-plus features (you can check the con- tents online at www.
HOn3annual.com), I can say that their is some inspiring

You don’t have to be a narrow gauger to enjoy the 2013 HOn3 Annual (above), you just have to appreciate good modeling. Here (page 93) are two examples of stan- dard gauge logging lines that would be great subjects for modeling. The smallest Mallet in service in America, 2-6-6-2 No. 5, Trojan, of the Casper, South Fork & East- ern Railroad,
crosses the 1,000 foot
long,160 foot high, Jug Handle Creek tres- tle (top right). This was the world’s largest wooden trestle. The CSF&E operated 15 miles of track in Mendocino County, Cali- fornia, linking a sawmill at Casper on the coast with stands of redwood timber. It had maximum six percent grades and curves with radii as tight as 30 degrees. Since the CSF&E was a logging railroad with no out- side connections, supplies were brought in by schooner and tanbark and redwood lumber from the mill were shipped out on coastal steamships. Like the other loco- motives on the CSF&E, the Mallet was shipped to Casper in pieces and assem- bled by the railroad. Built in 1910, it was scrapped in 1958. A limited run of HO scale brass models of No. 5 were imported by Sunset Models in the 1980’s. Pickering Lumber No. 101, an EMD SW900 (bottom right), heads the afternoon log train up the grade from Beardsley to Schoettgen Pass, California. A second EMD engine is cut in about ten cars back to help on the long climb. The railroad was shut down in 1965.
