Correct size logs for operating log loading bulldozer #3415

[biddle]

As we know, Tyco had several variations of products. I am curious about the logs. I know for a fact the first three big logs in the photo are original because I got them when I was a teenager however the four smaller ones came from a set I bought, but it was a set that was not restored or used in decades and pulled from an attic by a company that cleans them out. Not likey reproductions from ebay. Do you have any idea if Tyco made various-size logs?

I would guess that the larger logs are the ones that came with the sets without the log loading bulldozer that included three logs and a dump yard for the dump truck.

All the sellers on eBay with reproduction logs sell them in sets of 3- https://ebay.us/v4KrCm

it is definitely interesting this one has 4!

It was more cost cutting. The original 3415 used the thicker logs. It appears they may have been dyed dark brown as well. I popped a couple sealed 3416’s and AFAIK they had 3 logs with it and they were thinner. Around this time the log dozer also switched to the thinner logs.

And FYI the Boulder dozer contains 7 rocks.
