<p>Good Morning Folks,</p> <p>Bill - burning midnight oil again?</p> <p>More alarming news from Alabama, need to put a prayer candle for the folks over there.</p> <p>Zoe, just a coffee, please.</p> <p>The ballast has dried rock hard. I amnot sure whether I am happy about the result. But see for yourself:</p> <p><img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/Track4.jpg" style="max-width: 550px;" border="0" /></p> <p><img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/Track1.jpg" style="max-width: 550px;" border="0" /></p> <p><img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/Track3.jpg" style="max-width: 550px;" border="0" /></p> <p>OK, it´ll look different when I add some "greenery" around the track, but I am still having second thoughts on my w*rk. Despite wetting the ballast thoroughly with the "wet water", the ballast started to float. Lessons learned:</p> <ul> <li>Apply glue in between the ties, sprinkle ballast, let it dry</li> <li>Do the same outside.</li> <li>Finally, add ballast to the shoulder.</li> </ul> <p>I am going to try this and then compare the results.</p> <p>Have a good one & stay safe!</p> <p>Edit: Today being already the 29th of April, is there any idea where to move next month´s Diner to?</p>
