No logging, only coal. But I may add a lumber mill. I want one of them cool beehive burners, sawdust, and stacks of 2X10's.

I have a lumber yard on my layout, but no actual logging is modelled. However, I do have a rather extensive forestration project underway (I'm making a lot of trees), so perhaps the loggers will move in next. I guess my current answer would be "other" --more of an unlogging operation.

I have a logging area. We load up log cars with real logs, haul them down to the interchange, then main line to the far end of the line to the sawmill.
Then, we bring cut lumber loads back to the retail outlets.
Fun in the rain with traction loss.
Fortunately, heavy loads are downhill.

We cut out one area, abandoned the grade and line, and moved the show to Highpoint.

I have a model of "the Olde Log Inn" does that qualify?

To be fair, let's have a poll: Do you have any other industry on your logging layout other than logging? Obviously by the above responses a few people have a very small percentage of their layout dedicated to logging, if any at all, so your comment on very few logging operations is true, very, very, very, few people have dedicated logging operations on their set-ups, an engine and 2 flatcars with logs really doesn't constitute a logging operation. The poll would seem to give an untrue amount of true logging scenes on existing layouts.
