Camp 93 - Parsons Lumber Company

by Richard Turner

Background

Camp 93 is a prototypical logging operation based in Washington State towards the end of the logging in the 1930's. The layout is O scale ¼ inch to the foot (1:48) and with a track gauge of 30 inches.
Operation of locomotives and layout is by DCC with sound. Listen to the clanking of pistons and the echoes of steam whistles through the mountain gorge and tall timbers.
Gradients of 8% are worked hard to bring logs of up to 12 feet scale diameter down from the fell, remaining layout trees are up to 16 feet diameter and disappear into the lighting facia.
Locomotives include Shay and Climax geared locomotives which can be seen working a small supply yard and moving logs down the inclines from higher camps off to the mills. A variety of other stock can be seen including rail trucks and rail buses.
Camp 93 can be see at the exhibitions on our club diary page.
