log grapple
Coastmans offers a 3-D resin printed Log Grapple in HO (1/87) scale. This is a highly detailed model of a logging grapple which is used in the logging industry to grasp and lift logs onto and off of railcars and log trucks. There is considerable nut-bolt-washer detail. The model has a light coasting of yellow acrylic and India wash for a mild weathered effect. (Some images show extensive weathering; we don't provide that, but it serves as an example of how the model can be finished.) It is non-positionable in that the hydraulic cylinder does not function. This listing is for one log grapple model in HO scale.

Keep it movin' with this HO scale logging grapple. Very nice hydraulic cylinder detail. It is however static / non-functioning, non-positioning. I paint them a "faded construction equipment yellow" and you can take it from there. At least one for every layout!
chainsaws
They're durable. They're heavy. They're Real Metal. Chainsaws.
"With super-sharp teeth and loud enough to scare a small rodent!"
Or something like that. Whatever it takes. We'll do it for you.
We have name-brands: STHEL (get it) and also INTERNATIONAL.
(hmm)
THEY COME UNPAINTED.
Don't miss the Dragsaws, below. We have those, too!

Dragsaws! We got 'em. Somehow or other we have four sizes of saws in a very narrow range. This is somewhere from just over N to just under O scale. Not sure how that happened. Well, okay, I'm sure. But, I'm not going to talk about it.
Each comes with 3D printed blades, separate from the main saw. The blades you receive match the size of saw you choose. You add the blade (use CA or canopy glue). This way, if you dull one out right away, you'll still have something to work with.
(hmm)
Rest assured, once started, these things will wake an old timer from the grave.

THAT'S ALL RIGHT NOW FOR THE LOGGING TOOLS.
I don't have gas cans yet. I hope to.
I have lots of pallets. Just ask. They're free.
Ask for some rounds. I'll cut you some, as long as you'll split 'em.
