Model Forum / General / Railroads / February 2010

The Crestline (short for Fredalba & Crestline: both real places) is my
freelanced switching railroad located somewhere in southern
California. The Sarcophagus & Macabre is it's wholly-owned logging
subsidiary, and a homage to John Allen's Gorre & Daphetid: the model
railroad that addicted me to the hobby in the first place.

Kemtron / PSC Thomas-Flyer rail car. The S & M's official track-
inspection car. Also used as an ambulance in times of trouble, for
transporting vital supplys (whisky) to the logging camps, and for
collecting vital locomotive parts that fell off along the right of
way. Runs surprisingly well.

Bachman Spectrum 3-trucked Shay. Presently the S & M's only steam

logging runs.
