The Loco & Donkey Shops Includes:
A two stall loco shop with complete interior detail and the donkey shop with multiple donkey engines/boilers being repaired and overhauled along with complete interior detail. When I think of a donkey in the shops, I picture logs being shaped by hand axes into long sleds - the perfect scene to occupy the front of the shop!
The Deer Creek Logging Camp includes three separate kits. (See the map below.) The first released in the Fall of 2007 was Main Street. The second, Essentials, released in February 2008. Finally late this year will see the release of the Loco & Donkey Shops. All three continue the unmatched tradition of my Twin Mills at Deer Creek Lumber Company series. The complete logging camp scene includes these three kits combined with railroad camp creating the perfect companion to the Twin Mills Sawmill. A giant mill needs a big camp to keep all of the equipment and loggers well fed, and maintained! I have researched and developed a very realistic diorama based upon several different logging camps. Borrowing the most plausible features from each, siding, window type and placement, door layouts, roofing materials, overall appearance and feel are all based very closely upon prototype. The logging camp was a gritty, dirty place, perfect for the type of realistic weathering and aging I love to model!
SierraWest kits strive to offer the modeler a unique approach to the craftsmen kit, unlike anything else found in the hobby. With the perfect blend of scratchbuilding construction techniques and laser cut components, we use the laser as a modeling aide, not a replacement for the character and complete realism board on board modeling achieves. A philosophy we will never waver from!
The diorama floorplan presented below illustrates the three kits and how the various structures form the complete Logging Camp scene.
Notice railroad camp ties-in to the left and is the "end of the line". A small turntable or series of switches may be used at the modelers discretion to complete the track layout and feed the loco and donkey shops. (To the right.)
The diorama measures approximately 24" x 48" and as is the case with a SierraWest kit, the structures may be rearranged to suit your taste and space requirements.
