[:D]Hi! I'm twelve and model the Pittsburgh and Shawmut in Pennsylvania. For laying track I use these guidelines: -always use roadbed. I use cork from Woodland Scenics. You can buy it in rolls at your local hobby shop. It greatly deadens noise and vibration. It also provides a good base for ballasting the track. -To ballast, I use Woodland Scenics products. Mix them in a tub to your liking, and then spoon it over the track. Smooth it out with a brush until you like it. Then glue it down with an eyedropper. -NEVER get glue around switch points! After ballasting check the track using a freight car.[:)]
