Hornby did some acceptable brick retaining walls in the Skaledale range but typical of my luck they are withdrawn and unobtainable.
I need to build a 4mm/OO retaining wall about 1.5m long and rising from 100mm to 125mm then falling to 25mm (approx). Who else does something likely? Any ideas? Guy
International Models
Thanks, I should have mentioned: I bought some of theirs a while back, they were rather disappointing - basically foam embossed with overscale bricks. Resin casting allows for a much finer brick. Guy
Brick or stone?
If stone then you can do what I did on my last layout by scribing plaster over 3-ply and they didn't just look good they looked bloody good! I used a
1/4" skim of plaster pasted to 3 ply previously painted with diluted PVA. This technique works well for paving slabs as well. Use bog standard multi-finish house plaster. Plaster of Paris dries to hard.In message , "Just zis Guy, you know?" writes
Hi Guy
Have a look at Scalescenes - in the railscenes section there are several possibilities.
Very easy to make your own moulds and cast your own sections.

I will try this if I can get a couple of the level sections as templates. Guy
