Had 10 tons of screened farm-land top soil delivered about 2 weeks ago. Started dumping dirt in a 12 foot diameter for my mountain. After hauling dirt for 6 - 7 hours I decided to quit for the day. The dirt had to be tilled over because some of it was frozen. I didn't seem to accomplish as much as I wanted. Haven't worked on it since?? The pile of top soil is covered with a large tarp to keep it dry. <br /> <br />Also laid down a small section of test track (Aristo-brass) with some stone dust. It looks great and holds like glue!! The only problem, I held a magnet over the ballast and it was attracted to the magnet like metal shavings!!! For stone dust it sure had a high iron content.,........can't use this stuff. <br /> <br />I also need some more large stones, but, this is still winter, so I have plenty of time. <br /> <br />dan <br />
