The search continues!

As the summer creeps slowly towards its close autumn approaches and will be a time for pruning.  Look at the possibility of cherry wood.  It saws easily, is reasonably hard and keeps it bark for a long time and weather well.  I keep a couple of small stacks, lineside, some of which can be used as a load.

Many gardens have flowering cherry trees and often prune them back especially where they overhang a sidewalks/pavements  or encroach on a structure.

Simply use the real thing. If you bake them in the oven, they will get 25% lighter

Great log cars - wonderful weathering - all make the real logs look real!

The small logging trucks are made by Regner 30 /32 gauge, the larger 1 : 20 / 45mm trucks are made by LGB some years go. I added brakes and metal wheels with lower flanges.
 

 
 

 
 
Natural logs on shiny plastic does not look to convincing. So it makes sense, to apply some weathering.
 
Have Fun
