how do u make the balest stike

[mrfifer]

I use a large childs eye dropper and Woodland Scenics scenic cement and Kato's ballast. Be verysparing around turnouts and do not get ballast or glue inside the turnout.

Thanks , Mike

I do the same thing except I use Bachmann E-Z Track ballasted with Woodland scenics and Arizona Rock Company ballast.

Never mind, I found it! I should have looked just a little bit harder :)

[joshdillon2003]

Mike, one thing i wanted to ask is about the ballast for Unitrack. I was looking on the Kato site and didnt see it listed anywhere?

[dtommann]

Mike; I enjoy the videos very much. Is the a lot of ballast between the rails or is that mostly the Unitrack "ballast" showing? (I hope this is clear..??

Thanks,

Tom.

[mrfifer]

Tom there is no ballast on the track and very little in between the double tracks and none on the outer edge.

Thanks , Mike

Looking great! Could you make a vid on how you weather and ballast?

[mrfifer]

I have so many requests that I can not do them all.

Wish I could.

I spread the ballast between the rails with a small seasoning shaker and wet with the "wet water " method then a large childrens eyedropper is used to apply the Woodland Scenics glue. After that is dry I used a Floquil Rail Brown paint pen to do the sides of the rail and then lightly airbrushed the top of the whole track area with Poly Scale Grimmy Black , diluted about 50 / 50 with water. Thats it !
