RE: Model Railroad Lumber Mill
Yes, I was really impressed by his work. There are a lot of older car models and buildings that look nice too. It is a fun time period in history to make a model of. At least in this country a lot of the railroads seem to be in a decline in use more recently.
Yes, there just isn't very many branch lines in use these days. It's all mainline railroading now, container trains and bulk commodity trains moving cross country, very little in the way of local train traffic. Apparently, it's just no longer cost effective for the railroads to do local runs like they had 50 years ago.
