Ballast spreader, really awesome

[@scale_model_apprentice]

Very neat. I decided to go without ballast on my layout. Not worth the maintenance imo. I painted my cork roadbed gray and it looks pretty nice.

Nice, I used roofing gravel as ballast. I use to work for the W&LE and we delivered to Owens Corning and their cars leaked like submarines with a screen door. So I decided to pick some up and it works great!

[@OfficialRailFanTay_Productions]

That is sick! Put a loco on it and a caboose and you have a pretty neat matenence train!

Nice bit of kit. A little WD40 would be good.

Isn't the ballast supposed to be under the ties?

[@77thTrombone]

Normally, in modeling and IRL, yes, but different model railroaders have their preferences. It depends what they're modeling. If someone wants to model a "double decker couch" RR, let 'em have their fun. Also there's some realism for this on an older, less maintained side line.

But do you have a regulator as well?

@bigboystraintoys6285 it's to bad nobody has thought to make a miniature one for this kind of hobby.
