ModelRailroadForums.com is a free Model Railroad Discussion Forum and photo gallery. We cover all scales and sizes of model railroads. Online since 2002, it's one of the oldest and largest model railroad forums on the web. Whether you're a master model railroader or just getting started, you'll find something of interest here.
I don't know if anyone makes them or not, but I do think it would be a fun project to cast each stone individually and build the wall the "prototipical" way I've been casting stones for my N scale display/diorama recently. I just pressed some rocks into "Sculpey" clay to make molds and used plaster to cast them. The clay has an almost rubber-like quality, so the plaster doesn't stick. The clay doesn't seem to air-dry either, so if you decide you don't like a mold, you can just roll it up in a ball and start over. Of course, individual stones probably wouldn't be very practical for any sizable project

So... Are you offering to that work for me? The section I need is about 8 feet long (real, not scale, btw) and ranges from 1 to 3 inches high. Let me know what other info you need to get started.
Seriously, that's just not an option. Between work and this website and all the other layout work I want to do, scratchbuilding a wall, or much of anything for that matter, isn't going to happen any time soon.
In case you are forced into carving your own - I made a small wall using blocks carved from a strip of styrene. It's not as time consuming as it might appear. The size of the blocks are based on the size of the piece of styrene you use. Here's a picture of the carved blocks and a picture of the completed wall.
How about handbuilding a small master section and then making a mold to cast the rest? I'd love to, but I'm afraid it would take awhile, unless you can talk my chemistry teacher into easing up on the homework a bit
WOW! haven't got to finish the tour yet, what terific photos fantastic thanks for posting the links even though they took a nice chunk of time out of my morning but it was worth it
