Hi gang, This is the first chance I've had to pop-in here today... Inch - hope Sue is continuing to get better, still praying for her. Hope you can get some meaningful stuff done of your layout during your "time off"... RT - Aren't 2nd opinions great? Hope you can start earning again really soon...

That is very white ballast, and you say it’s crushed walnut shell?[/quote] John, Actually, that is sold by Woodland Scenics as "Medium Gray Blend" - a mixture of very light gray (66%) with regular gray (34%) granules. Ed has it right, WS uses crushed walnut shells instead of actual stone, to avoid the possiblity of iron being present (could make a real mess of things with magnets in the motors). BTW, Here is an image of the ballasted R.O.W. in 'natural' light: [IMG]http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e182/CSX_road_slug/ballast/ballast_in_natural_light.jpg[/IMG] [quote]QUOTE: der5997 (con't.) I’ve an eye dropper that I think I’ll use to dribble on the liquids... [/quote] The reason I wound up using an old Elmers jar was because the alcohol damaged the rubber bulb on the eye dropper I had been using - made it brittle, it no longer had an airtight seal around the glass tube. The alcohol would all drip out before I could get it to the target area![banghead] And the orange cap on the Elmers bottle makes an excellent valve for controlling the flow rate. [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by grayfox1119 KEN Ok Ken, when is your 1st DVD coming out? You may be onto something big !!! If you can sell 1000 DVD's at say $19.95 each, that would be $19, 950!!! Now I ask you, how much train stuff could you buy with that ?? I thought so !![/quote]*** I thought we were all going to collaborate on that (your clouds, Fergies turnouts and my ballasting)?[swg] . . . I'm outta here, have a great day everyone!
