Something a bit different
Jasonb:
I came across this today, nice to see something that is not usuall modeled. He also has a lot of other logging related models in his other videos such as donkeys, logging locos and log boats.

Now thats one I had never heard of - very interesting! According to wikipedia, its the first successful use of a continuous track vehicle in 1901. Also found this video of one in a New Hampshire museum:

Edit: And also found online plans at this museum site. Not detailed plan of the engines, but they look like standard double acting type.

These machines were also made in Wisconson under license. The Wisconson version was known as the Phoenix log hauler.
