HERRINGBONE BRICK PLATFORMS

These Herringbone Brick Platforms come in four scale widths of 6, 8, 12 and 16 feet including 6" stone curbing. They are 1/8" thick and 8" long. Use them to surround your depot and passenger tracks. The scale herringbone is laid on the diagonal. Cast in White Hydrocal.

6 ft, 8 ft, 12 ft and 16 ft wide in HO Scale
about 1/8" thick and 8" long

I first created a herringbone brick pattern 20 years ago. It was, and is, great for platforms however many railroads, like the Northern Pacific, layed their herringbone brick in a diagonal pattern. Well, I finally got around to doing the diagonal patterns. I even added a stone (or concrete) curb. They will go great along the tracks by your depot or between tracks.
Currently they are only offered in the mixed set of one each.

ON-LINE HOW TO CLINICS

HOW TO CLINICS
Here are a bunch of my on-line how to work with Hydrocal mini-clinics. Each kit includes specific instructions of course- and there are lots of ways to do things, but here are my thoughts, tips and techniques.

Coloring BRICK
My traditional techniques for coloring and mortaring brick.

Coloring STONE
With a little practice you can color realistic stone walls. Here's how I do it.
What are we going to do now that Testors/Floquil has dropped their Flo-Stains?

Coloring CONCRETE
A little gray ink wash and some colorants. It's not that difficult.

SCRATCH-BUILDING STOCK

Standard Common Brick- fine
If you like to scratch-build or just want to practice before you do, check out my stock castings. These are the same building blocks I use to create my kits.

Hand-Carved Stone-
I have three different grades available. Use as retaining walls, cut them up for foundations, or make whole new buildings.

Cinder Block Wall
Mix it up a bit and you'll have an even more interesting building.

Concrete Retaining Wall
Whole 4" x 8" panels of the stuff. Use them for retaining walls, foundations, even make complete buildings like I have.

COMPLEMENTARY KITS

NP 90 ft. Round House
A Northern Pacific Standard Plan, the ultimate "railroad" model.

NP Signal Tower
Another Northern Pacific prototype structure.

NP Freight House
Actually, a railroad storage house often found near the roundhouse.
