Guys.......whilst clearing fallen tree branches from the Illawarra Live Steamers 5" gauge tracks....... I spied
a few branches that appeared to have a significant number of growth rings, however were still relatively small in diameter
So for my ACS Scottish boiler I needed a few piles of rough sawn Australian hardwood logs and @ 1:20 scale would need to be
~~~ 6 to 12 mm diameter
~~~ 50 mm long
~~~ with say 1/2 a dozen growth rings to represent age
Not sure of the botanical name of the specie....
....but the results speak for themselves.....seems a shame to burn them..... Derek

PS...so whilst we don't know which year the wood will be burnt.......they can rest on the drying tables which will also increase the calorific heat value/output due to the reduction of moisture
Now I wonder if Sandy has a calculation for such timber dryness?....... to be used in his gas fired boiler
