Sleeper Retaining Wall

[ChiefMagicUK]

Hello, i'm trying to do some renderings for a client and i'm having trouble creating a retaining wall made of sleepers (2.4m x 200mm x 100mm or 8'x 8" x 4" approx.)

I have tried to create the material from scratch but can't get the texture to show correctly. I have alos tried to take an existing brick wall material and modify it so that it has the right pattern and then add the texture JPEG to that but it never comes out correctly. I've played with a single wood texture image and also created a texture sheet with the wood texture image tiled on to it but have had no success.

 

Does anyone have any hints or tips?
