I am new to this and started a layout (10x5 ft). I am looking for some advice. <br />I have laid most of the roadbed down and have started to glue some of the track to the bed. I have purchesed a set of Kato Amtrack super liners to use to test the track. my plan is to gently roll them over the section of track to check for problems. if i find none then i will ballast the track in place. Does this have any sound reasoning? Instead of buying ballast from the hobby shop or on line, is there any thing that could be bought at home depot to use for ballast. I was thinking of mixing sand used for motor with some black grout to darken it. Any thoughts,....
