[quote user="faraway"] I do the ballast after the basic scenery inclusive level crossings are done but before the ground cover (grass etc.) is applied. I think ballast stones riding on top of vertical aligned static grass looks odd.  [/quote] I did my ballast on my modules after static grass.  It took quite a bit of effort to vacuum out all the stray ballast floating in the static grass.    That being said, it was worth it for that well maintained mainline appearance.  For say a logging railroad, the answer to the question, "which is first ballast or scenery?", is likely yes. <div style="clear:both;"> </div>
