Looking for HO cinder block sheets

Anyone have a recommendation for HO concrete block?  Looking for some for the next scratch build and can't seem to find any.  I really don't want to spend $75 for a kit just to have some wall sections.    The only thing I can find is the Rix/Pikestuff but it's too toy like for me.

Thanks

Steve

Iron Mountain, MI

Dead Leaves? Glycerin?

In keeping with "there's nothing like wood for wood", and metal for metal, I ground and graded some dead leaves for dead leaves on a forest floor. They look great in the jar at the moment, but will they turn to dust in a couple of years? Can I spray some glycerin in the container, shake it up, and rely on that to 'freshen' them up? and make them usable?

Anyone heard of or tried using real dead leaves? Preservation methods?

Thanks

A Beginner's Beginnings - The B&B Industry

 

I started this journey by calling it A Beginner's Beginnings.  This has led me to to shorten the name to The B&B Railroad. With this in mind, I was contemplating about what would be the best industry to model.  I thought, "What starts with a b.....BEER starts with a B, and I like beer!!!!!! Hmmm, what else......BREAD, I also like bread!!!!"  This should work.

Here are some quick snapshots of highways created with Gimp (open source Photoshop workalike) and printed with an InkJet on matte or "canvas" photo paper.  Scenes are not all complete.
