    As with all other scenery components on a layout, weathering the walls of your structures is highly important for adding realism and intrigue to your model railroad. Many real railroads feature buildings, tunnels and other structures in towns and along the tracks that were constructed from stone and concrete, so it’s only natural that some of the structures on a scale railroad should be built with similar materials. And creating realistic stone and concrete walls for the structures on your layout is a fairly simple process that only requires basic weathering tools and a bit of time.

    Great video, like your ideas, but just a note, concrete dates back to Roman times and some say the Egyptian used it too, the Romans used cinder to make water proof cement for the docks and could poor it right into the sea and let it set, no need to build forms in the dry, like I said you do a great job, I'll keep watching & thanks

    Stellar video!!! Very clear and descriptive and easy to follow... Being on a budget and just beginning my first layout, DIY is going to be quite the life line for PNW&O Rail!!! Definitely scored a new sub and will be going through and watch many more of your tutorials... Thank you for taking your time to share the knowledge and skillset you have acquired over the years with us, it is very meaningful and appreciated...

    2 ideas I came away with- gesso undercoat and water color washes. I don't know that water color is preferred over acrylic, but I might give it a try. Can't hurt.

      Hi, James. Yes. I let the wash dry, mainly because the color may change as the wash dries.

    Concrete was used by the Romans during the time of Christ. In fact they developed a way to harden the concrete under water.

    The Romans used concrete in the first century.

      The Roman Pantheon is the largest concrete dome without reinforcement and also the Colosseum is largely made out of concrete. And forms of concrete were used before that as well. But with the collapse of the Roman Empire the use of concrete was very limited untill the med 1800's.
      Still, nice video :-)

    The title is “stone walls”, but you start with concrete walls.
