Closer view of 1/8 scale Willamette yarder. While it would be possible to run this with live steam, the owner prefers the relative ease of using compressed air, hence the compressor below.

1/8 scale Willamette steam donkey. We used this as the yarder. The tarp conceals an air compressor setup, which was used in lieu of steam to operate the donkey. In the back one can see one of the 1/8 scale locomotives that was being operated on the Willow Creek Railroad that day - August 3, 2008, during the Steam-Up at Antique Powerland in Brooks, Oregon.

Overview of spar pole, loading area, and yarding donkey to the right. At this point, we had gotten ahead of the loaders and were taking five. Yay, choker setters!

General view of spar pole and loading area. In the foreground is the whistle I was operating while whistlepunk. It's off a donkey engine that was being scrapped and was salvaged by Merv Johnson's father, who was a donkey engineer.

Manually operated (not-yet completed) donkey acting as loader. Eventually, the logging trailer will be replaced by 1/8 scale rail cars on a spur.
