Hi,

I'm modelling a Weyrhaeuser & Busch Logging Railroad in H0 and looking for anything about Logging Railroads. Any Loggig Railroad, any format (Video, Pictures, Books).

Thanks!

Check out Narrow Gauge and Short Line Gazette. Lots of high-quality
logging info.

There are a whole lot of logging themed books around. I'd suggest that you
go to www.bookfinder.com and do a search for logging railroad subject.
FWIW, Roibert Koch did two large books on the Shay loco. Prices are not low
but the books are a goldmine of stuff on the Shay loco.
Otgher books vary from thin 100 page books to huge tomes, depending upon how
detailed the author got. Other logging locos like the Heisler and Climax
have had books written about them. Most of the books are on the west coast
railroads incuding the one you are interested in.

Better for logging than the Gazette, which tends to focus on Colorado NG.

Obvious Man says search the 'Net for Logging railroads. You find many
links to keep you busy for hours. I have been doing this for years in
whatever hobby I have. I have a few hundred links on different
subjects, plus you learn a lot about 'Net searching. Never can tell
what will pop up.

You don't mention what period, but this book on Google (1913) has
much info on logging, and a section on logging railroads.
