What did you use for ballast? Thanks..
My ballast comes from nature. Here in western Colorado we have these large ant hills, like 2-3 feet in diameter. The ants are great sorters, and bring up these large grains, pebbles. I scoop up the material into buckets ( sorry ants ) bring it home, run it through a sieve. After track is laid, I add the wood ties, then apply my ballast. I use tweezers to pick out the junk and oversized grains, then apply white glue/water mix.
