Even though the all purpose gravel is a mix of smooth and jagged stone, I am concerned it may "roll". It worked real good with making the track level over the 2B. I think there is now enough heigth to allow good drainage and will top off with crusher grinds or chicken grit. The Home Depots in my area do not sell "crusher grinds" per say, and are completely sold out of medium paver sand, which they claim is comparable. I can try Agway for chicken grit. One farm supply wanted $7 for 5# for what they are calling chicken grit. They said the ingredients were mainly charcol, shell, and sodium? After working 8 hours on the railway yesterday, I'm not sure if it will be in operation before the snow flies! This has been a lot more work than I imagined (but fun). I now have a lot more appreciation when I see what other folks have done! But honestly, if I see another split jaw clamp I think I'm gonna hurl! I think my fingers are permanently stained black from the electrogrease! I not sure if it was wise to put in a split jaw at every track joint? Even though the little buggers are relatively expensive, I like the way they keep the track straight and true, but am concerned about the expansion/contraction effect. I saw an add about a free moving expandable track section. Has anyone used this product and let me know if they are effective? <br /> <br />Thank's for your comments, <br />Rich
