Hello all, <br />I am in the process of building my first layout with my 8 year old son. We have secured all the track to a foam base (I did not use cork road bed) and have started to add ballast. <br />Last night I tried to put ballast on a switch and succeeded in jamming it up. I finally had to lift the section of tack and vacuum up all the ballast. Is there a trick for this that I am missing? <br />Thanks <br />Ed
