Looking to reduce weight and simplify loading, logging railroads reduced their cars to the most essential elements. "Skeleton" cars were little more than a frame. Taking it to the extreme, "disconnect" trucks held massive logs with no car at all! Don't let their simple construction or small size fool you; these cars carried some impressive loads. Perfect for use behind your new Shay or other logging locomotives, these skeleton cars and disconnects come complete with a log load and tie down chains. Of course you can always vary the loads some more with a little "tall timber" of your own harvested from the back yard.
