Ken,
Those MDC Log cars, are those I had mentioned to you some time ago! (I now see why you weren't wanting to trade them!)
I got quite a few of them, myself at this point, along with some brass ones, that I made, and a few from Kadee, kits, that are assembled and look AWESOME!
NOW tho, I plan to make more of the brass types I made as I got a good supply of trucks to make them from  as my local train club had about 50 cars worth! And with how I'm going to use them, about 100 "disconnect" cars worth! BUT, to make that many by hand, is going to take some time, and a little money in brass strip and structural strip.....
What did you use for the logs on the cars you completed? They look AWESOME in the pictures!
~John
Many have tried to, and failed, ya just can't repair stupid...
Do NOT try to Idiot-Proof anything!!!! God, will simply create a better......IDIOT!

Those logs do look great, Ken. Did you score them? They have a realistic bark pattern.
