Retaining wall using 6mm Ply and 5mm Ply. First I have lots of 00 Scalescenes Brick, buildings, etc etc that I've had for quite a while. SO firstly selected TX_24 00 Brown brick, then used 175% to bring it upto'0' Scale and printed out A4 sheets on (Double sided Matte 250 GSM Photo paper) for wall, then printed out two more on ordinary copy paper for abutments and ease of folding. The colour turned out better for me these colours Below Wall 6mm Ply, Abutments 5mm ply Capping stones 00 scale Metcalfe Pavers they worked out just right (for my wall tops) walls will go at back from left corner to rear of engine shed, which is 2.3 meters in length, http://www.clickRALPH
thought I would post making my wagon loads firstly before our winter saved some pieces toleave outside to rust natures way, not this colour must be the light. this is what's left after three wagons one left to do then I will have some more to do for Scrapyard, 3 mm ply, small piece of wood, so as to press one end for easy removal.Most people will do or have done this method. painted just incase it's visible any place This is the actual colour out of tray, then formed a box around the base, lined with greaseproof paper, Placed scrap pieces in, bought a 10 pack of super glue from the $2 shop to drizzle all over pieces.Thank you 'Kim" for putting me onto the method of attaching all the pieces. The old saying hears Two I did earlier The coal loads done the same way This post maybe of some help to someone The wagons will in the near future be weathered, http://www.clickRALPH

Gary, Kim, Phil, Thanks for your comments.A special thanks to Kim, offering to weather my wagons for me
Well done to Kim for volunteering to show Ralph how to use his brand new Iwata airbrush to weather wagons. I'd do it but it's a long drive for me, you understand Ralph.
