How To Cast a Custom Scenery For a Model Railroad

Step 6: Other Railroading Projects

Mold making and casting will allow you to reproduce any original model. Scenery pieces of any size can be recreated using Smooth-On silicone rubber molds and urethane resins. Castings reflect perfect detail captured by mold rubber. Colors can be added to Smooth-Cast® plastics for a variety of effects. Low temperature melt metal alloys can also be cast into OOMOO® silicone.
