This model was built over a few months by trial and error. It is in 1/25th scale and I had a lot of comments on the size of it at the Farm and construction show in Harrisburg Oregon I attended Last month. It is totaly scratch built and made to represent one of the units which was drug off the rails and set up to load trucks. The 1:1 had rail powered trucks under them which when in the loading configuration, they were tucked up under the frame. The model is built off a picture which showed it with the power trucks removed and sitting on a level deck loading trucks. I am now cutting out the pieces to build the big brother to this unit, a Lidgerwood tower skidder, which will be an even larger model yet as it will also be in 1/25th scale.
