A great place to get logs for a project like this is off your Christmas tree when you are finished with it. Snip off the branches as they tend to have a uniform size.

Great idea and I’ve done simiar things to make track look more realistic. I handlaid a layout using c40,55 & 70 and tried the shims, hammer and wood block techniques and various colors & sizes of ballast and dirt with success.
You said on a “test” you laid down code 100 track. That’s fine but I’m sure you are aware that no logging line would use any rail that heavy and your layout would be even better using code 55 or 70 rail or even some c40?

That looks very familiar. Is that picture from your layout?

Mike,If that’s from his layout I would love to hear the technique he used.That’s fantastic looking.[wow]
Yea Larry, there is a Mike on another forum, his layout is set in the winter, and it’s positively beautiful!
I’m thinking this is the same Mike, if that’s his picture.
If it his him, he needs to show off more of his layout in here.
