This is the sixth installment of the ACTRR N Scale rebuild.
This week I show how the Unitrack is ballasted and colored and how the corner mesa has been blended in.

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

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.

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 !

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?
