Muleskinner's AMT log trailer tutorial: where do I find it?

[DennisT]

That says it.  I've read several references to, "muleskinner's," tutorial about improving AMT's 1:25 log trailer.  Just spent most of an hour on, "search," here but cannot find it.  Anyone know how to pull it up?  Thanks, Dennis

You should be able to find it here: https://thetimbershop.proboards.com/  The Forum is basically defunct, but there is still some good information there.

Thank you JimB.  That timbershop is a terrific resource.  I'd >never< heard of it.  I tried registering but no luck;  must be part of it's being, "defunct."    However, in spite of seeing Muleskinner posts, still cannot find his tutorial on the log trailer.  Going back now to continue looking.....

Whew!!!  I just finished going through everything I could find on the timbershop site.  Great stuff.  I DID find a Muleskinner article on correcting the undersized reach of the AMT log trailer.  Is that what all of you were referring to?  It is good and I saved all of it I could.  Too bad many of the photos scattered through those postings are now gone.

Well, I guess I don't hit, 'return," when I'm still typing.  

QUESTION:  Is there a way to directly contact Muleskinner?????  I'm thinking he and I have some ground many years ago, primarily in the region he apparently lives in and worked in.  Key word:  Rogan Coombs.

Looks as if I answered my own question:  as I searched muleskinner's name it looks as if he is no longer with us.  I realize I am really late in finding these forums and the timbershop site.  I wonder if there are any other, currently operating, logging truck/equipment modeling forums out there??????????????

Thank you all for the help I've received here,

Dennis

Glad you found what you were looking for.

Yes, Muleskinner was killed in a house fire several years ago.  Very sad.

Wow.  How tragic.  Yet, his legend lives on here.  I have a hunch he and I walked common ground in the NorCal Humboldt County country.  I was partially raised down there before returning to Washington state.  Many, many times I watched logging trucks come down the grade next to our house trailing water from the brakes near the Humboldt/Mendocino County line along 101.
