Hi Everyone,
New poster to the site. I have a couple quick questions. if you can help, great. if not, no problem.
I am ballasting for the first time using WS medium gray mix. I am not sure if I like it or not. Do you use Fine ballast? All of my track is on cork. I have a section where 3 tracks are less than a half inch between each other. SO, when ballasting, I have the cork slope, tiny section of layout then the cork slope for the next track. I have ballasted the area. What I am seing is that the ballast in between there is clumpy and doesn't really look real. At some points it is almost higher than the track. Any suggestions on how to handle that? I actually am considering removing the medium and going with fine. I can't put other scenery in that area. Should I raise the ballast and have it all on one level?
Does anyone use the WS rail and tie markers? I have code 100 and am thinking the brown look might be nicer. Does it work or is there a cheaper alternative? Iam more concerned with the ties.
Thanks again for your help everyone!
