Tichy Flat cars for logging

Those are some nice-looking logs, Glen - good texture and colour, too. Thumbsup Thumbsup

Do you know what kind of bushes your friend was pruning? Did you have to do much additional work to get them looking so good?

I used old privet hedge -- well fresh privet hedge, actually -- for a load on my layout. I pulled it out of the tunnel one day and found that the ends had been gnawed. Probably the same thing that went after the Jelly Bellies that I was using for coal and haggis loads. We had our chimney replaced later that year.

I think it might be Lilac bush but I'm not sure. I pretty much just cut them to length and glued them together. I sprayed some RR tie brown to cover the glue marks and some roof brown to color the chain (it was brass) looking back I probably should have painted the chain before I attached it to the loads.
