Has Anyone Used Bar Mills Sidewalks?

I now only use the sidewalks available through OGR. With the right spray-paints and the right weathering-powders, I can make them as aged or new as I feel fits the scene. Also, they can be cut with a hand/hack-saw quite easily to truncate them where they need shortened to any length. A hand-file can easily clean-up any rough ends after they have been cut to-length, helping them abut each other seamlessly.

 

Perhaps, these shots of the OGR sidewalks in-stu will recommend them to you.

 I really can't comment on them. I have purchased a number of Bar Mills products and have always been pleased. I have seen these and just not sure as to how they would take paint or how durable they would be.

 I've always used the ones from Crow River. Made from resin. Decent price. Corner and driveway sections available.  crowriverproducts.com

 

 

I bought a Bar Mills building that included a sidewalk, and would say it was very nice. It took paint very well, and is nicely detailed.

Frank, 

awesome layout, I love it!  I forgot about the OGR sidewalks, they're a lot cheaper too.

 

Dave,

I didn't know about the Crow River ones - very nice.  I think I want to go with a lightly distressed look.

 

 

Here's a survey I did of O scale sidewalks a year or so ago.

I've used the barmills sidewalks and like everything else that Art makes they are well done. if you are butting them up to a straight edge building the depth doesn't matter but if not, they are 3/32" in depth and so if you have bases that you want them abutted to you'll have to find that size. you can do that easily with task board. the barmills sidewalks take paint and weathering very easily, can be sanded and cut without any thought. you can spray paint them with a gray primer (as Art suggests) or find an aged concrete color. add some powders and you're done.

You might try Downtown Deco sidewalks. They are a bit high (1/4") but very detailed.

A bit pricey but I like them a lot.

Here are the sidewalks I make in resin, a kit comes with a little over 100 scale feet. Email me if interested.
