What to do for a Woodpile?

 Somewhere reasonably near the pulp and paper mill should be a stack of pulpwood -- short logs for 1956.  Maybe here?

Sure, why not?  But none of this looks quite like a woodpile.  Maybe less is more and we will use our imagination.

Just use a few of the cast truckload piles and put random stacked pulpwood behind.  Start with a wedge of Styrofoam painted Expresso.  Add individual logs dipped in 50/50 water/white glue.

That could work; maybe add a few more sticks for good measure.  A grapple/orange peel bucket to move to a conveyor-to-be.

Something like this with a little imagination. . . .

And this. . . on a smaller scale (in more ways than one).  Of course, most of the pulpwood is off of the layout.  😉
