I will keep posting photos for you guys to follow. Bill from Ready to Roll (My LHS) gave me a few tips. I used "wet water" which is just two drops of dish soap and water in a small spray bottle. Next I just made 50/50 water and white glue to stick it down.
I will make a quick video for you guys ASAP so you can see what I do. I am sure it can be approved upon but I have seen a million scenery videos and this really helpful Australia gentleman gave me what I think is the best tip to make it as realistic as possible. (Involves how to clear and tap the ballast down from the track after it is applied from the bottle.)
Thanks guys!
What do you think about trying some HO size ballast on the top? There is an excellent video in the OGR video archives on how to do ballast. Exactly what you said. Wetter water and a 50/50 mix of white glue and water. Cool how that works.
Wife has me cleaning up because I have "TRAIN BOXES" stacked up all over the house! LOL
