As many of you may know I'm modeling a turn of the century Rail line and though I had previously made up some heavy timber car stops in the form of an upright fence/barier with bracing I thought some different types might lend a different effect for different areas, especially readly seen sidings.
Right now I have two branch line siddings on the outside that I need to put car stops at. I'm after realism as it might appear on various old lines. I can remember seeing many years back in Canoga Park, on the West side of San Franando valley just a pile of dirt acting as a car stop for the wheels.
I'm considering using some ties piled up as a stop but wanted to see what others might be doing?
I'll ad some pictures as I make more progress.
