Marc,
What a great link that is. But I'm with James on this one that log truck is just great.

That huge donkey engine, pulling itself up the hill with the entire crew is very impressive.
Now to see someone model it.

That donkey is not going uphill ??? or it is reversing. It is facing downhill !!

Glad you guys enjoyed it...found it by accident looking for pics of old 1950 Ford pick-ups.
Now...I really want to see Gordon, Barney, or Gordon, build one of these....

Great find Marc! Chester should do that clam fry truck.
Great site, and I love fried clams.
Just saw this post & link.
Great stuff. Thanks, Marc.
That ditcher is plain nasty........
I tried running a google image search for "Madison Ditcher".....it's amazing how many drunk girls there are named madison that feel compelled to post their photo.
...I did however run across these images which still might make for an interesting model:
From the Alberta Oilfield History and Equipment Museum site:

For some reason, I feel that this contraption should be suspended from a hot air balloon over the boiler for best effect! ;D
