Thank you! Yes this is extremely flexible. You can see in some of my layout updates where I installed this up against the curve of the track. Thanks for watching!
Hi, just watched your video, super cool idea. I have an N scale switching layout and you made your wall 1 1/2 inch, maybe 3/4 to 1in for N scale? Thanks.
I’m not entirely sure on how to convert from HO to N scale. Although you can scale down any size wall from 1:1 scale you want using this model calculator from Exact Rail. Check it out. It’s how I scale down objects from real life to HO scale. Here are some examples for N scale for wall height. 8’ Wall: 0.60” 10’ Wall: 0.75” 12’ Wall: 0.90” exactrail.com/pages/exactrail-calculator I hope this helps. Let me know if I can answer more questions. Thank you very much for watching my video.
I put the wax paper down on the cutting board to prevent the glue I was using to get stuck to the cutting board. And also to reduce damage to the cutting board from the glue. I don’t think you need the heat gun to make it go around a sharp curve. The styrene is malleable enough to put it on a sharp curve. Now if you do use a heat gun be careful because the styrene gets very soft very quickly.
I was debating how I wanted to make the risers look like they were made from cement. This looks like the way to go.
These walls look great and are affordable to build. I hope it works out well for you! Thanks for watching!
Good to have you back!
Thanks dude!

@@modelrailroadingthesouthwest You're welcome!!
[thank, you for youre great video]👍
Thank you! I appreciate the kind words!
This looks great, one question, how does it bend around a curve , I need to build these for my layout

Hi, thanks for getting back to me, I went with 5/8s and it worked out fine. Thank you for posting this video, I never would have thought of it.

Great job.
Thank you!
What was the paper covering the cutting board? Can the plastruct be bent to a sharp curve by heating with a heat gun?

looks great
Thank you very much!
Some times if you scuff the styrene with some sand paper the cement works faster
Interesting. I’ll have to give that a go and see how that works.
If I make a mistake instead of throwing it out I cut it up and use the pieces in a gondola to represent a scrap load.
Great idea!
