Hi all. I have just finished my first layout, a simple oval with one spur inside the oval and two outside. I am ballasting the layout now and would like advice on how to cover hide the fact that on some of the curves, there is more cork roadbed on one side of the track than the other. I have tried trimming the excess, but it looks shoddy. Ballasting it would leave one side with more ballast than on the other. Could I add more scenery to that side of the track to compensate? Any ideas? Thanks very much, Don Cathcart
