"I've been working on two long stone bridges to span my patio between my train station and my garden railway...I cast the sides of the stone bridge instead of just gluing stone to my wood base. It worked out very well. I cast a thin stone wall eight foot long and 2.5 inches high and 5/8" thick. I then glued and screwed this casting onto my wood base. I cut capstones to glue over the edge to hide the joint and give the bridge a great edging for the track ballast. The bridge in the foreground was trickier as I had to cast a 5 ft radius curve to get the track across the patio to the right spot in my garden railway." JB - Pennsylvania
