Early construction and scenery photos

Plus the latest photos as of November 2021

Here you can see the rock formation and how it provides a much more level area for placement of the loader. I used Hydrocal and carved & colored the rock face as I have with all of the other rock formations on the layout. This photo shows most of the scene including the chute in the background and a part of the track where loaded cars are pulled to be stored until they are picked up. I am awaiting the arrival of another donkey that will be positioned to pull logs along the chute from the woods to the loading area. You can also see the prototype of a model of the original design Dolbeer donkey by Tomar Industries that I'm using as a car puller.
