Aaronw Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 In addition to trucks there was a display of misc heavy equipment used in logging over the years. Unfortunately we don't have a lot of options for models of this stuff in 1/25, but the smaller scales offer a bit more. Part 1 is located here http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=55845 Leading off with a 1952 IH TD-24 with a logging attachment for skidding logs.

Aaronw Posted March 30, 2012 Author Share Posted March 30, 2012 Caterpiller D2, I'm guessing late 1940s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaronw Posted March 30, 2012 Author Share Posted March 30, 2012 A well worked Caterpiller D7, from I'm guessing the late 1950s. It was being used as a back stop for a 12 ton logging locomotive that was providing rides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaronw Posted March 30, 2012 Author Share Posted March 30, 2012 Now a little one, a Caterpiller Ten from I'm guessing the 1940s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaronw Posted March 30, 2012 Author Share Posted March 30, 2012 A pair of Cletracs, again probably from the 1950s. Both are powered by a Hercules Diesel engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dptydawg Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Nice collection of crawlers. Some excellent reference shots. SpecCast has a 1/25th diecast of the TD24 and logging arch. Sure would likre to find a 1/25th scale Cletrac though. Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaronw Posted March 30, 2012 Author Share Posted March 30, 2012 I couldn't remember who did the diecast or of which, but I thought there was an IH of some sort available, thanks. My computer started misbehaving last night so I had to quit posting. I got a few from an earlier period of time. Towed grader Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaronw Posted March 30, 2012 Author Share Posted March 30, 2012 and last a Steam traction engine, sort of a wheeled steam locomotive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brizio Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 WoW! Fantastic picture! I really like the steam tractor! Do you have more of it? Thank you for sharing them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaronw Posted March 31, 2012 Author Share Posted March 31, 2012 No sorry that is all I got of the traction engine. It was kind of surrounded by stuff on all sides making it hard to get good photos. It is also quite tall as you may guess from the last photo, so I couldn't even get a shot of the cab (maybe if I held the camera over my head, but I think quality would have suffered ). Not sure where it was from but a lot of the vehicles are from a collection in Willits which is about 1/2 an hour north of me. If it is part of that collection I might be able to get better photos of it in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotrod59f100 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Is the wheels on the last photo made from the red wood it self? . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaronw Posted April 2, 2012 Author Share Posted April 2, 2012 I don't think they were redwood, but yes the trailer wheels are just cut from a big log. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
