While looking through the internet a few years back for ideas I found this inspiration from Jim Wanlas MMR-585. He did a HOn3 Logging Disconnects with Special Load build. See here; http://jamestowntrains.com/my-quest-for-master-model-railroader/my-3rd-ap-certificate-master-builder-cars/hon3-logging-disconnects-with-special-load My build will start in the next post.

I had some Kadee logging disconnect trucks, stashed away on a shelf, which would be just fine for the use on this type of build. This is the type of load that the Slate Run Railroad, or the Elk River Logging Railroad could have delivered to their site, and made-up into a sign for their Railroads. Below is the Kadee kits I’ll be using along with the Kadee #15 couplers. Louis Pacific Northwest Logging in the East Coast Post count: 5000 posts added to below count.

Does it become Disk-combobulated? < sorry... I saw the shot and I took it. > Pete housebound in Michigan Edited by - Orionvp17 on 04/26/2020 5:26:26 PM Country: USA | Posts: 7390 desertdrover Engineer Posted - 04/26/2020 :  3:54:25 PM     quote: Originally posted by George D This will be interesting to follow. Have fun with those #15 couplers. George You are right George, I've done #15's before and chased around the metal spacer dowel that goes into the springs. I've since picked up a Kadee spring pic, helps tremendously. Louis Pacific Northwest Logging in the East Coast Post count: 5000 posts added to below count.
