I finished off the flat cars this afternoon.
I made the log bunks out of some scale 6X8 lumber and the Keystone Cheese blocks. I dipped the cast metal cheese blocks into my Blacken-It solution and they came out brownish-tan oxidized. I don't know if this was a reaction to this particular metal but I liked the results.
The bunks are permanently glued onto the decks with 2X4's glued into the stake pockets. Then I did a bit of weathering.
and finally on the layout with my MDC 2-8-0 and Kadee logging caboose.
I would like to add the log loads to the cars but I'm not sure how to make convincing scale logs can anyone point me to a article on the subject?
