O scale brick/stone stampers for streets

cults3d

Various-sized stampers for making brick or stone impressions in clay. The stampers are designed for use with O scale (1:48) streets, but could probably be used in other scales with a bit of resizing. I use these to make belgian block pavement on my O scale modular layout using the DAS air-dry Stone clay and brick streets using DAS air-dry Terra Cotta clay. My modules follow East Penn Traction Club standards (3 1/4" track centers) and are specifically designed to work with girder rail. This is how each stamper (see photos for identification) is used. Single brick for filling in odd spaces and around switchwork. Double brick for filling in gaps and around switchwork. Short 4 rows – for filling in gaps in and around switchwork. Two rows for brick along the outside of rail. This has brick ends, which makes it easier to line up with the previous stamping. Use between rails. This does not have ends, since it goes right up to the girder rail. I use code 125 rail on its side for girder rail and this fits between the girder rails. Use between tracks. Assumes that there are two rows of bricks (#4) parallel to the outside of the rail. Designed for East Penn standard 3 ¼ inch track centers. Handles for the stampers are 3/16 K&S brass tube.
