Module plan for FreemoN module of Keasey, Oregon, circa 1940s. Scale is 1.5" per grid square. Overall dimensions are 18" x 4 feet. Track plan is slightly simplified from prototype and compressed to fit module. Turntable at prototype scene was originally from Wishram and, when no longer needed at Keasey, was shipped to Albany, Oregon, where it exists today. Mill is down line to the left of this view. Logging areas to the right. Eastside Logging operation logs come in from top of this view. Keasey was a forward camp of the Oregon-American Lumber Co. Near this site there are still some trestle bents to be seen even today. The town site appears to be under private ownership. The site is overgrown, and none of the historic building appear to be extant.

Pomeroy Steam Logging Weekend: The heel-boom loader and one of the classic log trucks that they were loading. In the highball days of steam this would have been more likely a set of disconnects or a skeleton car and instead of a road this would be rails. Also, there would be no hard hats. Safety considerations must prevail and I am glad they do. Lots of guys were killed in the woods in accidents that could have been prevented with modern safety equipment and practices. The color on these is blown-out, and that's my fault. My wife had the digital camera, so I grabbed my old Spotmatic and whatever film was in it. It turned out I had Velvia 100 slide film. I thought it was 100 speed B/W film. I had these cross-processed (E-6 in C-41 chemistry) to get prints and found after the fact that this is not the ideal slide film for this kind of thing. Oh well, the blown-out colors makes these look like I shot them in 1971, not 2011.

Remains of trestle near site of former town of Keasey, Oregon. We almost missed this one, as I was trying to find Keasey and wasn't sure I had seen it. I noticed a waterfall and on the way back along the highway my wife looked over her shoulder and said, hey, there's a trestle there, too.

T-Trak to oNerTrak wye corner idea for interface between Oregon-American mill and lines to the woods. Heavy blue-line rail represents blue-polarity plug line from T-Trak standards. Blue-to-the-outside standard from T-Trak precludes necessity of auto-reverser at wye.

Sketches for Oregon-American T-Trak modules. The module on the left has the track and is pretty much going to be as is. The module on the right will have a cross-over, but I haven't settled on a track plan, yet. The spur is for a service shop for locomotives and OA owned equipment. The diagrams are for wiring the cross-over. This is still the subject of some discussion.
