| If
you ever wanted to know where wood comes from... |
|
 |
| The
log gets sawn into boards thus... |
|
 |
| ...by
a human pushed bandsaw |
|
 |
| The
boards are removed and... |
|
 |
| ..then
run through a table saw to remove the rough sides (the bark and
rounded edges) |
|
 |
| The
neat bandsaw blade sharpening device |

 |
| Meanwhile,
back at the depot, we catch the tail end of a casting call for
the new Guy Ritchie movie - Lock, Stock and Two Non-smoking
Locomotives. Or maybe we just caught them trying to nick off
with that drill press. |

with sand. Mariuta is an 1910 Orenstein and Koppel 0-8-0, that
is a 2-6-0 today due to a broken
coupling rod |

the shop stop |
|
 |
| Its
raining again |
|
 |
| But
sometimes, the inability to get the obvious easy shot forces us to try silly things that
occasionally work out pretty well. I got absolutely soaked taking
this, but it was worth it to get something different |

| A
nice spot beside the river where we had two runs - one had
steam only, the second had off-and-on exhaust plus too much
whistle - you can't win. |

| Of
course there was some sun when the diesel arrived. Monster train this -
something like 24~26 wagons |

even the railcar bought some logs home |
