Do they have to be Narrow gauge to post here?
I ask as I have some, and then I don't want to place them, in the wrong forum to be seen!

There were plenty of standard gauge logging railroads. Some of them lasted into the diesel era. Simpson, Weyerhauser, and Georgia Pacific were three off of the top of my head.

In East Texas pretty much everything was standard gauge. Originally, there was a bit of narrow gauge activity but most were standardized by the early 1900's. Steam continued to run until the mid-1960's.

This fire car at a small lumber operation near Callander, Ontario was standard gauge. The picture was taken in the early '60s, and I believe the mill is no longer there.

Ohhh guys I'm so sorry! Each of you miss-understood what I was asking......
I know that in real life logging railroads were narrow gauge and standard gauge.....I was meaning models... being posted here.....
To post pictures of our models of logging equipment here, do they have to be narrow gauge as the title of this section says?
Or can we post pictures of the standard gauge here too?

- - - and yes, this is narrow Gauge,
logging and mining.
However, visibility would probably be greater in any one of the other applicable forums. Because this is
Narrow Gauge, and
Logging, and
Mining, it probably wouldn't be viewed except by those interested in those specific topics.

Thanks Pete....Thats what I was looking to read here....
SO, with that I have a few to add!
I made these from brass stock I had laying around mounted to trucks I also had lying around the shop, and thought, they would look good as empty disconnect log cars, as i can't justify the cost of a single car from Kadee!
As the fleet grows, they will be pulled by:
AND
Yes I snapped a few shots in my shadow box, display case! I think it looks AWESOME! (I do plan to make a similar display case for the Shay and the Heisler so.....
