Logging Disconnects for the LHR

without comments

Given the Lost Hollow Railway’s logging theme, some log hauling rolling stock would make a good start. I purchased two Hartford Product 1:20.3 narrow gauge logging disconnect kits. Disconnects were also known as “bobbers”.

Finescale Railroader’s March 2006 Issue has some excellent pictures of Michigan-California Lumber Company’s disconnects. I especially like the hand-painted car numbers and I will try to do something similar on the Lost Hollow Railway cars.

Here are a photo of the almost-completed bobbers:
