Attached I have a drawing of the gauge and scrapers I'm going to make to help make my tramway.....
Now the problem is that I'd like to make the surface resemble cobblestones and thought one way to do it would be excatly the same as they do in real life in Australia (I'm sure its used elsewhere) and that is to press carefully into the wet surface of the road making compound aka flexible floor tile adhesive mixed to a stiffer consistency with a rubber "stamp" after suitable coloured oxides have been scattered across the surface. This gives a very realistic effect when dry and will be totally weather proof, fade proof etc. I have made a crown between the tracks and also have made provision for the track to stick about a millimetre higher than the surface...
Problem: anyone know of a source of sheets of plastic cobblestones that I could use to make my rubber "stamps"?
