[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by tatans you will find with a logging layout, you will be in a minority, [/quote] Nope, there's 4 primary types of modeler's, Coal, Logging, industrial and passenger. in that order, there is a vast number of people that do logging layouts, especially in the larger sizes (O, S, G) where short trains are more common. Logging is becoming increasingly more popular with the smaller gauges as well, as people want to get away from coal (the everyones doing it syndrom). There are exceptions, as there are people out there that will combine the 4 types in a multitude of combinations, but it always balances out that coal and logging are the two most modeled aspects. Shays were used in high grade and sharp turn areas, so it would not be un usual to see a shay going up a 3-5%, and occasionally a 6% grade and traversing what would consitute a 10-15" radius curve in HO scale.
