Ollie Smith tribute log hauler
HOn30 scale
This is a tribute vehicle to Ollie Smith, one of the great innovators of post WW2 New Zealand logging. He built a series of chain driven log haulers with various truck cabs that proved to be remarkably efficient. This is not one for the rivot counters. It is a fun build based on a N scale Greenmax 5712 chassis I had lying around. I have used Madrams AEC Matador Low Loader cab, scaled to 1/87, as it was the most suitable I could find. The cab and hatch may require a minor adjustment in your slicer to get it to sit flat. I imagine if Ollie Smith had one of these lying around he would have used that too. Built for fun, the couplings could be changed for those available at
