I would not do that, the idea of ballast is to hold the track in place but to let ti have some free movement so that it can "float" and let rail bsorb the shocks from the locomotive etc. <br /> <br />i have set some of my track with what was advisd and i wish i had never done it. this is the only place i have derailments. <br /> <br />By all means set the sides in palce but lwet the main part of the rails float. <br /> <br />I don'r understand why you bought ballast by the bag. why not get a quarter of a cubic metre or so delivered or transport same in your ute. <br /> <br />Rgds ian
