This is a freelanced Logging railroad that uses Shays, Heislers, Camelback and small steam switchers to navigate the railroad. The layout contains over 40 structures consisting of 4 Fine Scale Miniatures and many Campbell kits some dating back 40 years. The mountains are completed with the exception of some background and trees. LittleTowne is a village that has all except one structure built from wood kits. Come and see if you can identify the plastic structure.
