Looking Back: Retaining Walls & Rock Faces on the Layout on my OO Layout

Описание: Looking Back: Retaining Walls & Rock Faces on the Layout

Welcome to the first in a new series where I reflect on the small but meaningful projects I've tackled over the past couple of years on my OO model railway layout.

This video is mostly a montage of photos and short clips captured during the build process. In this episode, I revisit an area where I originally used cardboard to create retaining walls. They did the job—but I wasn’t quite satisfied. So I decided to experiment by replacing part of the section with a rock face for a more natural look.

I still kept some retaining walls, which I purchased and resin printed myself. You can find the exact model I used on Cults3D 🧱—available in both 4mm and 7mm scales. https://tinyurl.com/2ycjkjjj

Stick around for more layout retrospectives, and feel free to share your own build stories in the comments!
