Make Realistic Looking Logs For Logging Scene On Model RR Layout
Jim needs help from someone with experience in creating a logging scene for his N Layout and asks readers:
“I’m pretty new at railroading and have decided that my layout will be Alaska and I’d like to have a logging camp. I cannot find any suggestions of how to make realistic looking logs. I enjoy scratchbuilding and would prefer to make them myself. Any help from some who knows would be appreciated.”

I use twigs cut to length.They look good with a thin line of bark aroud them.For peeler logs i use small meat skewers bought from supermarket.
yes, nothing looks more like the real thing than the real thing. twigs, pieces of small branch that are the right diamter. no painting, just cut to appropriate length
