Neiler, I haven't put down ballast yet, I'll post over time if I have a problem, with my ballasting idea. Rain, in my situation, is the least of my wories, since I have a (relatively) big, very active dog (1&1/2 yr old 40lb standard poodle -loves to run, he can kick 1" rocks several feet when he runs), and the layout cuts accross a well traveled part of my yard I am "glueing" the ballast down using the technique from the following post. <br />http://www.mylargescale.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=38355 <br />It sounds like just the ticket I need to keep it in place while the dog travels over it. I am sure I will still need to maintain it and add fresh (ballast & "glue") now and then. I hope to be placing track and ballast very soon. Spring rains and the dog will let me know if it works (only time (cold winters/hot summers) will tell in the long run -possible frost/heat expantion issues????).
