Name of Model	Mogollon Mining and Timber

Moggollon Mining and Timber co. is an operating railroad museum in the present day, Northern Az. high country. The timber and minerals- manganese and onyx- are cut and mined with modern equipment. However they are then reloaded on railcars and eased down the mountain to the lumber mill near Meteor Crater and the BNSF interchange at Canyon Diablo. Geared and articulated locos still rule the road and the steam powered tourist trains take railfans out to see it all on 100 plus miles of trackage. For over 80 yrs. various logging RRs operated in the vast Ponderosa Pine Forests of Northern Az.. The last Log train into the Flagstaff Mill was pulled by steam on 8/17/1966, my Granddad Eddy Eyrich was firing The little 1911 2-8-0 (The 2Spot) that had spent her entire life pulling and pushing God alone knows how many millions of board feet of Timber into the various mills she served in Flagstaff. She's now on Display Downtown on Rte.66.(My 2Spot is a close replica of how the real 2spot looked around 1950. I started with an inexpensive 0-8-0.) The #12 a Baldwin 2-6-6-2 is Displyed in front of the Pioneers Hist. Museum on Fort Valley Rd. (hwy. 180) Here in Flagstaff.
