Here is a pic of the log loader with spacing. Center rail to center rail approx 14.5". Edge of loader to spur (load side) 2 1/8". I've never had any luck with the non "stake" sided log cars with the log loader to work either most often the logs go flying off the car when they're loaded.

After looking at the track plan for awhile the one issue I could see is with not having a way to reverse the train it would be tough to reposition the car from one side to the other unless you have a short switcher and it's the first car on the train.

If any other measurements would help let me know. I'm trying to come up with some more interesting than my set up now hahahaha.

Right, I figure for one of the spurs, the loco will need to drop it off, then run around and push it into the spur.

That is super-helpful, 14.5 center rail spacing!!  No need to trim the roadbed!  Great!

Thanks!
