Vsmith, I like your idea better then jigstones, the labor intensity is kind of a turn off.

I have seen a demonstration at the BTS, its pretty interesting but it looks too labor intensive for my little Dog & Pony Show. The end results are really tough and great for outdoors though. You could also cast walls yourself using the various latex casting products out there, you could use the sytrene brick sheets from Plastruct as a mold master to produce the relief in latex that you could then pour the concrete or morter mix into.

   Have fun with your trains

FYI- loking through the latest GR magazine and found Jigstones. Check them out on

www.jigstones.com They have molds for stone brick and a bunch of other cool stuff.

Has anyone ever cast brick walls for structures? Where did you get the molds?
