Light weight rock

[Tim Hale]

Hi,

In my search to find an alternate to expensive lightweight rock walling, I found this Limestone Rock available from pet superstores (easier to find than train shops) and Tips n'tricks

I bought two sheets for £50 and that will provide all the backdrop for the quarry layout, it can be cut and stuck in place with Gripfill solvent free- I will upload some more pictures when the layout is progressing. It looks just like the quarry faces at Portland and Meldon - great stuff.

This sounds like a good idea, but there is the question of scale - might this product be a bit large for 4mm scale, in terms of the size of the rock strata portrayed?

That's interesting; what type of pet stores will it be in - the big chains like Pets at Home or something more specialist?

Found in a local aquatic supplies in Yeovil, maybe try the makers website for retailers.
