Ballast touch up

I use balast called quarry fines. It is a mixture of grayish-blue rock dust and small, crushed rock. It sets up like concrete when watered and stays put fairly well. It looks very good as balast because it is not too big so as to be unrealistic, but also not too small as to get everywhere and be too hard to work with. As soon as the rains stop, I'm going to go back and balast my entire line. right now only a few parts have balast and the newly laid track is unbalasted until the trackwork is finalized in the places it needs to be. this cuts down on the hassle of taking track up to fix a problem and putting it back down again as I often do on a few parts of my line.
