I will be ballasting some switches soon and this thread is just in time. I did not think of the points and throw bars. You all probably just saved my switches from getting "Switched" to the trash bin. I pondered these wonderful posts and decided that I will ballast up to the points and the frog as well as the throwbar and stop a tie or two away. After everything dries I may very carefully add a bit in non critical spots and paint over the rest. Maybe leave a HO coffee can in a spot ( I dont know of a coffee can in HO, I just used an example.)and a discarded tie in another things like that looks like it is half buried anyways. Good Luck with your Switches Lee
