These Cooch Cut Stone retaining walls are the perfect fit to hold back mountain rock base in this close to the track location. The retaining walls are nicely detailed in cast resin, also making them sturdy and easy to work with. I did prime them with enamel paint to help the black wash to work. The scale is perfect for my HO layout. I was able to cast the stone columns using the thick plastic shrink wrap that covers the wall in its sale display packaging. Great product!
