Disconnect Trucks
This year I participated in a Railroad Secret Santa organized by Brick Train Depot. I was selected to build for Rob Hendrix, who is well known for building tiny trains and logging stuff. In a way, my choice to do logging disconnect trucks satisfy both, as they're tiny trains used for logging!
These aren't really based on a particular prototype, but are freelanced from the many photos of disconnect trucks (aka disconnects) that I found online. The basic idea is that the logs make up the body of the car, and the light disconnects can be coupled together without the log to head back to the loading area.
