  The Little Bear Logging Railway was originally built in the spring of 2007, a single dog bone loop built on a ladder on post construction technique. After 2 winters of track heaving, we tore almost everything out, raised the bed and laid track on a half pipe filled with screenings. Loosely staged in the steam era of logging, The Little Bear Logging Railway has 2 separate tight looped tracks consisting of about 230’ of LGB track. LBL features 3 hand built bridges over a gorge and a 22’ climbing hand built trestle. Watch as the engines wind thru the towering evergreens.

Come October we (the Tuesday night four man work crew) move inside to the basement and LBL’s turn of the century logging layout (a work in progress). All buildings and trestles are hand built from pictures or plans. Enjoy the grandkids loop completely around the basement and through the stairs. We run LGB on track power and Bachmann logging engines on RCS and battery power.
