I happened to see this photo and found the road and wooden crossing interesting. Note the road grime continues over the wooden timbers for the crossing. Both the medium gray and the two darker stripes continue over the wooden crossings. This gives an alternative to the "fresh" timbers typically used on layouts I see.

General questions on just how does a logging camp operate on a daily basis? Does the engine take the crew car and empty log carrying cars up to the logging site in the morning, and then go back during the day to pick up the loaded cars and take them to the log pond? Finally does the engine then go back to the camp to pick up the workers at the end of the day?

i am currently working on a small Rix kit and placed a 3mm white led on the inside ceiling to light the first floor of the building. The issue I am having is that there is a bright concentrated light spot on the floor. Im not sure how I can diffuse the light to reduce the spotlight effect. I am also wondering if smd leds provide more of a flooding illumination, rather than a bright spotlight. I also put a small drop of tamiya clear orange on the led and that gives it a more yellowish light. However, now there is a yellow spot on the floor. Any ideas?
