Hi!
This passed week I got help from my friend Magnus to ballast most of my lines. He has such a nice and quick method, which ended up with a really realistic and nice look. Makes more fun being two as well! :)
Hi Martin,
Magnus did a good job, ballasting and weathering Marklin´s infamous "K-Gleis" track.
Nice weathering job on the DB class 56 (ex Umbau pr. G 8.1)!
The DB class 56 is factory weathered, item 37516. A little pearl! :)
sdCowboyBenAnd what was the method?
I second this query.

Martin,
your layout looks very nice and I bet there are a number of folks in here who would like to see more of it. So don´t hesitate and share some more pictures with us!
I know Marklin 3-rail AC is somewhat belittled by the "serious" model railroaders, but it has a lot to go for it. The system is fool-proof and Marklin´s built quality is unsurpassed - not a bargain, but worth it!
Just a few days ago I resurrected my 30+ year old Marklin loco, which hadn´t been run for over 25 years. Just put it on the track and applied power. It ran like a charm, just like new. Now try that with your Rivarossis, Athearns, Atlas, Bachmanns of today´s manufacture!
Thank you for the positive feedback!I made a short video about how Magnus does his ballasting to help me remember the process next time. Hopefully it can be of help to others as well.

That was a nice way of ballasting the tracks!The video was informative and easy to understand. I have to test this.
