Sorry I've been away from the workbench for a bit. I got sick in April (not covid) with something and it's taken a few weeks to get back to feeling normal. I did finish up the logging cars this weekend though.
I numbered the three and then weathered them with a mix of airbrushing and washes. They all came out with different degrees of weathering.
Then I made some log loads for them. Since I'm not modelling west coast logging, the Kadee logs would be too big so I used some pruning trimmings that a friend gave me a few years ago. I used the same logs when I made the loads for my two logging flats so they're consistent. I airbrushed over the glue that showed but I'm thinking I might add a bit of woodland scenics ground foam to add some texture over the glue.
And on my photo diorama. The logging and /or the sawmill scenes on my layout aren't close to being done yet.
