Thanks, guys, but I'm looking to more physical realism in my renderings than a
formulaic (synthesis) approach will deliver. 2 chains will be securing a stack
of logs (made of 9 2x2 round bricks) on a train car.
Not only do the chain ends attach horizontally beneath the car, but as the
chains go, up and over, the chain is under tension at the contact points on the
log, and links must "touch" the logs at key points.
