Putting down ballast on switches

You certainly can ballast turnouts. <br /> <br />Just be very careful not to get ballast or glue in the moving parts (i.e., the points). But don't leave the whole turnout unballasted--that looks silly and defeats the whole purpose of ballasting. With care, I've ballasted N-scale TO's, so i know it can be done. <br /> <br />If you used white glue, you can take your stuck turnout and get it good and wet so you can clean it off and re-use it.
