Boost Your Tracks: Ballasting Techniques With A Variety Of Materials On Your Model Railway

[@mauracurran6500]

Excellent video Mark, I also use different types of materials for ballasting, I really like chinchilla sand

[@DonegalDadRail]

Thank you. I couldn't get any chinchilla sand in any of the pet shops within 40 miles of me.

Haven't played around with model railways in 30 years but it's interesting to see these videos randomly on youtube. Whatever you craft, as long as you do it properly and have a passion for it, I'm all for it.

[@DonegalDadRail]

Thank you. Hopefully, you will check in again to see the progress.

That vacuum device didn't suck! That was a impressive bit of kit, I also wouldn't drink those Dr Pepper as well 😂 great video

[@DonegalDadRail]

Thanks Simon, those Dr Peppers might not be the best for you 😉 😀

Great video Mark, I’m guessing you guys are having similar weather to us in the west of Scotland. On the plus side it’s great weather for model railways 😂

[@DonegalDadRail]

Thank you. Yes, yesterday was a really rough day.

[@Hambleton77]

Yes I thought it would be, it’s a beautiful part of the world that you live in regardless of the weather. I’ve just went online and acquired a vacuum and layer attachment set. I have 60 feet to ballast and I’ve been putting it off…

[@DonegalDadRail]

@@Hambleton77 it will make it so much easier and quicker.
