In designing my On30 module, I'm wanting to have a couple of Cribbing walls.
I'm having a hard time finding any information on cribbing / retaining walls. All of the searches I've done, have come up with only one article. It is by Mr Ken Ehlers.
Any pointers in the the right direction, or for that matter, in any direction, would be most appreciated.
Thanks for your help / input in this matter.

Is this the type of cribbing you are interested in?

Robert
Are you going to scratch build? There is a resin casting I have that would work, and its scale.

For mine, I used this (below picture) method, and used real stone dust as my back filler.

Thanks, guys.
I knew that there had to be more out there than I was finding.
More than my two ( 2 ) eyes, beats just my two eyes.
I'll keep checking in.

Neil, I'm pretty sure that scene was on Malcolm's HOn3 Denver & Rio Chama Western layout from long ago.
|
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm a busy man. I have a railroad to run.

Neil,
Yes it is from Macolm Furlow's DRCW layout which I think was his best effort. Unfortunately from what I heard, it was torn down when he moved to New Mexico. You are looking at the town of Sheridan.
For all the publicity it received, there are only two issues that cover the layout in full. If you are interested, I will give you the dates/magazines.
What is amazing is that layout was only nine feet by nine feet!

| I always thought that example (furrows) was awfully tongue-in-cheek as no real cribbing would be stakcked that high, or cantelevered out like that. |
