how did you ballast your track? every time i try to do it it ruins my layout! plus it looks very unrealistic. yours looks like its from n-track train assosiaton or somthin {they are VERY good on layouts}
Well I use woodland scenics fine ballast. I run a bead of ballast down the center of the track, then brush it even. Once that is done I then put a bead down each side of the track and brush it out as well. Then I soak the ballast with 90% rubbing alchol, then I use scenic cement to cement it down. By using the rubbing alchoal I settle the ballast and allow the glue to run freely through the ballast.
Look at that a small layout into your dream layout. THATS SOOOOO COOL. I hope one day you will move that layout and make the biggest layout you ever did. Anyways I hope your layout goes to a TRAIN SHOW, it needs to.
I plan on starting on a door sized layout at the first of the year. But thanks, also I will be taking it to some train shows. I built it to this size with that in mind.
Very nice switching action.

Badass video man, thats a really good song too. Layout is looking great.
yadkinrailfan99 2 years ago
The funny thing is that the song on here wasn't the original, it was an audio swap one because the orginal was violating the wmg thing. lol.
