HOMES FOR THE LOGGERS AT TREMONT

I have finished my "winter build" project of three "set off houses (skid shacks)" for the Little River Rail Road in the backyard.

So, the set off houses were loaded on an out bound log train and sent to the Tremont Tennessee logging camp .

There they were off loaded and I tried to replicate some of these scenes from the prototypical logging camps of the Little River Lumber company high in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee.

Here are my guys in 1920's photos getting ready to leave Tremont Camp and get to work on the motor car:

And back to the reality of the scene in the backyard.

I hope you liked the pics and the story of my winter modeling project........ready for Spring.

Nice work.  I need to do something like it.  My loggers go to work but have no place to stay.
