I love the rust on the roof and sides. Very much litke the patterns you see int he real world. Great stuff. Can't wait to see it ballasted.

Paul and Matt,

Looks good!

Looks great!
Paul, Matt,
Well I saw the buildings before, and they look great!! But I just noticed something for the first time. It looks like you are using Fastrak in front for what I guess is the main line, and it looks like GarGraves for the mill tracks. First, am I correct? Second, what was your reasoning in doing this? I am not intending this to be a criticism at all. I have some Fastrak, RealTrax, GarGraves, and Lionel O27, and I think I want to try some Atlas O track too, so I am always up for the pros and cons of any track system and when I would like to use each.
Thank you.

The fast-track is the track all over the layout. The gargraves is for the over all look of the steel mill and I want to try the ballasting and track thing. Thanks!
Thanks for the comments guys! Love feed back....

I thought that might have been it. I agree having different yard or industrial area track and ballast helps differentiate between that and the main line. We see the same thing out in real life. Sounds like you were trying ballasting for the first time; it looks mighty good. I have not ballasted yet in O gauge. It was always tricky when I was in smaller scales, so I am hoping it isn't as tedious to make look good and stick only where it is supposed to.
