This is my 1 ft x 4 ft N-scale model layout based on the steam powered Hull-Oakes sawmill on the Bailey Branch in Dawson, Oregon. The mill is a real-life "Inglenook" style switching puzzle since the empty cars have to be moved into position, and the full one moved out, all on a six mile dead-end spur. Check my other videos to see this action real life.

  • Is not Hull Oaks Lumber a steam operated lumber mill . The last operating steam lumber mill on the west coast. All they do is big timbers. Went in there one day picked up 4 pcs of lumber and i was at 78,000. I might be wrong but is this mill off 99 and you go west.

  • Yup.  That is the one. That might be a picture of your truck getting loaded in the backdrop (that was 2007 I think).
