While I did get all the track laid and power feeds wired for Middleton, I was unable to install the turnout motors and control panels for it. Hopefully, by next month. I did make a test video of my C636 running on one half of the town.
I also made a revision of part of the junction trackage, replacing the #6 right hand turnout that goes to the staging loop a #8 right hand turnout. This also allowed some minor track adjustments for the industrial spurs in the middle of the wye.
With the icehouse, sand house, fuel oil dock and engine house base made I was able to lay out all the yard tracks. This led to the elimination of one yard track and repositioning the engine house and servicing facilities. This is shown in the track plan below.
My Division Point Weyerhaeuser #108 2-6-6-2T arrived this month also. A photo of it along with one of the NWSL 2-6-6-2Ts #6 and the Mantua 2-6-6-2T #13 is below. The other NWSL 2-6-6-2T #4 is in the shop right now. The two NWSL loggers are models of the Black Hills Central locomotives 108 and 110. NWSL made these years ago and they need the open frame motors replaced along with adding decoders, keep alives, and speakers.
The next two photos are of the Sugar Pine Lumber company 2-10-2T. This was used on their common carrier Minarets and Western railroad running from the logging camps to the mill. This was the only one of this type built. It served along with four 2-8-2Ts. According to the data on this one it had greater tractive effort than the Mallets.
The last two photos are of Willamette #25
