Scratchbuilt Washington TL-6 Trakloader log loader


Recommended Posts

Well here it is after about a month and a half of work. I drew up scale plans of it on Autocad, and then used those to construct it from sheet styrene. These units were used in the timber industry here in the Pacific Northwest in the 50's to early 80's. There are still a few out there earning their keep. It took 5 cans of Tamiya camel yellow to paint it, and I made the decals up on the computer. I'm pretty proud of the end result for being my first ever totally scratch built piece of logging equipment.
