Reply to "Fas Track Ballast"

Keith:

Thanks for the response.  

Like RickO, I have used the WS track pens for Steel Rail on both sides of both outer rails.  I leave the center rail unpainted because it blends in nicely due to its reflective sides.  I also use the WS Weathered Tie for the ties & Rusty Rail along the base of the inner & outer rails.  

So far, my FasTrack is not yet mounted on my benchwork.  After my modules are stained & sealed (probably next spring & early summer), I will fill the voids under the base with ConTact brand black foam shelf liner (with Scotch double stick tape).  These track sections will then be mounted with a layer of the ConTact liner between the track & plywood.  Small gray cable ties will serve to fasten the FasTrack to the plywood/ConTact liner.

At this point, I will add the ballast.  

In addition the your ballast, what other measures did you employ for sound abatement with your FasTrack ?

Thanks in advance !!!
