Make Retaining Walls For Layout
Chris is a keen member of my online Model Train Club and sent in this tip.
I use building construction foam that’s normally for expansion joints to build retaining walls on my layout. There are a couple of different types of this product and one has a cover you peel away leaving a very sticky surface. To imitate rocks I have used a variety of materials including crushed slate, aquarium stones and crushed brick which I apply to the sticky surface. I then add some grout between the stones. You could use this technique for roads or paths too.
