Time to ballast! Where's Dennis Brennan anyway? Probably getting ready for York

VERY nice looking trackwork. Looking forward to seeing it ballasted.

Save yourself a few bucks. Go get some play sand. Build up the profile and fill in the ties just below the top. THEN sprinkle on that great looking Brennan's ballast.

There ya have it, your Bohemian money saving tip for the day.

I do this even with my HO projects, and did it on all of my three rail projects. I was using Woodland Scenics product though.
