Ok... I went with the Woodland Scenics. The most important thing I have found is that when it all dried the first time, I re-soaked it and used the 50% solution of white glue a second time. (It is rock hard.) Another tip, when you have the ballast laid perfectly, and BEFORE you spray any water, take your finger and run down the ties between the rails (and outside the rails if your patient,) to knock off any "top ot the tie" rocks. I uesd Flux paste brushes slightly angled forward to sweep the ballast (it pulls just enough from between the ties to make them appear to be up higher in the ballast.) It is looking great! Thanks to all of you for your help. Any new tricks or tips, put them here! (As far as I'm concerned, Ballasting is one of the most important parts, and is most noticable since I don't have a "busy" empire.
