Thanks Andy, Brian, Mike for the positive comments, on the newest scratchbuilt factory over the tracks....
Andy, I went back to look at your track and ballast work, it's exceptional..... The color of the ballast really blends well with the track, the ties and the surrounding scenery. Question: Are you airbrushing the ballast, ties and rails lightly after the ballast was installed ? And if the answer is yes, could you tell me what color or colors your mixing together ?
I started using an airbrush to try and blend everything together on my layout as I don't care for the harsh contrast between the ties, rails and granite ballast i am using, but my results aren't as good as yours ...
