Hello! I am presently constructing the Metcalfe Models cardboard red brick retaining wall as well as the tapered retaining walls on either end of it, and had a question about its location on my layout. Although the general construction of this wall (which will measure approximately 150 cm in length when completed ) is designed to be in a straight line, I would like to install it in a gentle curve to align with the curve in the track where it will be going. Could it be realistic practice to glue down each section of the wall ( 10 segments in all ) with a slight change in angle ( eg ; 5 - 10 degrees ) as each section progresses? Or were these walls always built in a straight line? Thanks as always, in advance, for any information / advice you can provide me with. Cheers!
Retaining walls were generally built to fit a situation. Straight line, angled, a gentle single curve, "S" bends. Whatever was necessary to do the job- And this fits exactly what you have suggested.
With the retaining walls made out of cardboard you could bend a gentle curve in the wall to match the area where it's going to be placed.
