Do you have logging on your layout? Please vote. Yes or No.

Upper deck of my new layout will have a logging branch. Three shays, 11 YV log bunks, and a bunch of assorted logging support cars await operations there. The log trains will come down out of the hills to interchange on the lower deck. Haven't figured it out yet because a shay will take a long time in the helix even at full speed. I love the generally beat up look of most logging and Narrow gauge equipment.

One forth of the layout is a mountain with logging as the theme. There are so many interesting parts to logging: camps, trees, track, cars, locos, sawmill and so many more. The other mountain will be for mining, with the interconnecting parts for Minnesota farming and Arizona desert.

Well, I have a sawmill and sawmills need logs. So, yes I have a spur dedicated to a small logging operation.

I have a logging/lumber mill on my layout complete with tree stumps, trucks hauling logs in and lumber out... I've also got a couple of cars with cut logs, pulp wood and lumber loads on them, but don't have a branch line or anything running to the mill. It's mainly for effect, and to employ some of the town folk from the little community so they're not all working at Walmart... (Sorry, but I couldn't resist.)

I have very little logging but at least some. It comes down to a car or two. a waterwheel mill, a lumber shed and a few misc. pieces of logging things laying around.

Well I just got my 3 Trk Shay in the mail yesterday and wired up the sound decoder so I will be figuring out how I can incorporate either a logging or coal diorama into the layout. Not sure where or how at this point but could not pass up the price on the Shay. We are moving in the next several months so I will not be able to do anything decisive until we move into our new home. I am excited however as I never really considered a Shay or a logging/coal operation. But now I find it opens up a whole new area of modeling. Can't wait. So put me down for a Firm Maybe on the logging operation.

Some one recently said that the logging layouts represented a high number of layouts. No one disputed that claim. However, when I went to railimages.com and did a search on the keyword logging, out of the hundreds and hundreds of layouts posted, only a handful of layout were returned. So I'm wondering if logging is indeed as popular it seems or if logging is just a small, but vocal minority.

My layout--in the cleaning up the space pahse--will be a logging layout with an interchange with a regional railroad.
