Need a tileable image of PRR cut stone

[Ed Kapuscinski]

Does anyone have any high-res straight on photos of PRR style cut stone, like they use on bridges, retaining walls, tunnels, etc...?

I need to be able to tile the image to make a nice, long tunnel liner kinda thing.

Closest i have.

Square on shots would probably be easier to find on a field trip .

High enough resolution and you might be able to straightened it out.  One problem is that there is almost no way to make this tileable without a ton of work.  The weathering on these is so distinct that you're going to easily see a pattern.

I'm willing to give it a shot if someone comes up with a good photo.  Bob, can you post the full size of that?

That is full size d(digital).  I'll throw in a couple more for comparison.





Ed, these were taken during our little sidetrip during the last Conrail picnic.  Am sure Dave, Eric or Lee might have a couple more.


And one from the N Scale Convention at Sherman Creek

You might be able to clean this one up...

Is this what you're after?

Like the one we are on this weekend...

No, the original off the camera.  That image is only 800px wide.  The D90 pictures should be much, much larger.

Ed,

Try this http://www.cgtextures.com/ - look under medieval brick.

Ed, Google "stone texture" images - you will find massive numbers of tileable stone textures you can use...

These are used heavilly in 3D design and there are tons and tons of free sites out there.  Also try renderosity.com to start (free to join)

These could perhaps be photoshopped to square them up--





If they look interesting, I can supply the full-res originals.

Frankly I think that the texture is equally important as the color . The color can be mimicked , but the texture is the eye catcher as the headlight highlights it passing through at the portals .

Can this be heated and bent ?

I have a straight-on shot of a plaque (or cornerstone-like block) at the entrance of this very same flying-junction tunnel in Marysville, Pa.  If I get the chance when I get home tonight, I'll check to see if I can post that shot.  I'm not sure how much stone it shows outside the plaque, though.

Maybe you have more of the surrounding stone than I got...
