Good techniques one and all. I've used a mixture of water, white glue, alcohol, and detergent to both wet down and secure the ballast, and dripped it on with either an eye dropper of a labratory squirt bottle. My mixture is "about": Water 60% White glue 20% Alcohol 20% Detergent 3 or 4 drops You may also want to consider putting the track on top of cork or something similar to increase the height of the "ballasted" area and the visibility of the overall ballast. Most all track is on a raised ballast from the surrounding elevation of the area (for proper drainage). The areas that typically are not "obviously raised" are yards. Mark in Utah
