Use the real thing, of course. I have a 7 car log train tha uses small (N) size twigs cut to car length. When trees are cut they are not all car length. So, you cut some tht look like the bottom of the tree and some that look like the top-with the limbs trimmed off. My log cars were made from tank car frames trimmed and with wooden floors on each end. The logs are glued together and glued to the cars, the scale chain is glued on each end and to the car frames. Can't get any more realistic tha that. BTW, logging operations used any type of car that would haul logs. Very few of them had ta string of identical cars.
