Deep in the california Redwoods, Loggers pause atop the 12' stump for a postcard photo.


The stump is an actual 3" cut-off tree with modified 1/35 scale military figures. The shay is On30 Bachmann.

Here's a contribution from me in HO scale, using a large resin stump:



An overall view of the diorama using On30 models:



Another shot of the scene, back in HO scale:



These stumps and a bunch of smaller ones came from a Canadian firm, Railway Recollections -
http://railway-recollections.com/ through a local friend who is working with them. They wanted some product photos so I was sent a bunch of them I checked with their website and they don't have them listed yet. The large stumps are hollow cast resin.

Great pics everyone.

Dave: That is really cool. Do you have a pic with some kind of size reference? Maybe a coin or something? I'd like to see just how small Zn3 really is.

Okay, not exactly perfect modeling however I am happy with the results. This was a little experiment....



This is actually a Zn3 diorama (because I just had to see if I could do it, that's why...). Everything is scratchbuilt except the trucks are from Micro-Trains. No, the loco does not run.

It is built inside a small bell jar used to display clocks and dolls...



It keeps the dust off and I can keep it on the bookshelves in the living room where it can be seen. It was a fun little project that took a week of evenings while watching TV.

Dave,
In Zn3, do the rails actually touch each other? Very impressive modeling!

This is some very good stuff, guys! Please keep it going!

Thanks, Chris, for getting it started.



Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm a busy man. I have a railroad to run.
