Looks nice.

Does anyone have an image of the back? Flat? Hollow?

Are these easy to cut?

We installed these on the G&O garden railroad. They are made from resin and cut easily with a saber saw. The back is hollow except for the top piece. The walls are fairly thick and are strong. We cut off the top piece and used it another place for a stone wall.

We repainted them with latex paint in order to protect them from UV damage.

They have been outside for only a few weeks. This is still in the experimental stage for a garden railroad. They will work very well on any indoor layout. I think they are very good looking.
