  • Fantastic. Congratulations.

  • I live near a place that has an old retired engine that's on display on the side of the road has the number 3 on it that looks exactly like that but it doesn't say the pickering lumber co. on it

  • My West side models west side #3, is over sized for a small Heisler. the Rivarossi machine is over sized for a large Heisler, and I believe they patterned it off of an early Pacific Fast Mail import

  • Holy shit, that is one B-E-A-UTIFUL Heisler my freind. Absolutely stunning!

  • That is a fine looking model. I have a Westside Models westside #3 produced in the 70's, but it is over scale ( to allow the size of the motors available then) it came with standard gauge and narrow gauge trucks, and since it is big for 3 foot gauge, I have the standard gauge trucks under it,. I love that locomotive, not enough small Hon3 locomotives are easily available.

  • what an excellent running critter. I have an ancient Westside Models Westside #3 built in the 1970's, but it is grossly oversize. it came with HO standard and 3 foot gauge trucks. Mine has the standard gauge trucks on it, as it is too big for HOn3

  • @nelsonoidagain Is that the one that the Rivarossi hiesler is modeled after? They look identical. I know one brass hiesler is almost exactly the same as Riv's model just not sure who made it.

  • Thats cool, I just happened to have a picture out on my table of the west side number 3 heisler when i stumbled on this video

  • Awsome. Roaring Camp #2 is my favorite logging engine.

  • Wow! What company made this? I didn't know HOn3 made Heislers. Does the company make Shays as well?

  • They do make shays... but they're not cheap, and they're rather hard to find. There's 1 or 2 hiding around online that I've been able to find. HOn3 is the scale, and the company is Precision Scale Co, Inc.

  • Hmm interesting. I don't see too much HOn3. Thats pretty small. I hear and see more On3 and On30.

    A run a narrow gauge G scale Heisler in my garden railroad. I'm running scale 1:20.3 on G scale track.

  • I've got an HOn3 shay comin' next week. Keep an eye out for a video, which I'm sure i'll have up soon after the engine arrives! It'll be a 3-truck shay, West Side Lumber Company #7, which is the one they now have at Roaring Camp, as is this heisler.

  • Ah there you go! HOn3 would be perfect for modeling after Roaring Camp :-)
