I picked couple of good ideas that will make my ballast work easier. Thanks Tom 👍👍👍

[@TomsTrainsandThings]

Glad to help

[@FBMRR]

Totally agree. That's how I did my last layout.. fantastic method.

[@TomsTrainsandThings]

Fantastic! I've tries many different methods, this one is the best

[@BruceMayo-db1kp]

Nice tips, I especially like the condiment bottle application method. Thanks!!

[@TomsTrainsandThings]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jimtedesco]

Looks like a great way to ballast

[@TomsTrainsandThings]

Very easy and fast

[@TwoRailfans]

We use a hopper which seems to get the correct amount between the rails, but if you have cork roadbed you always end up adding outside the rails with a spoon.

[@TomsTrainsandThings]

Good idea

[@raamosjr]

Great demo, Tom! Thank you.

[@TomsTrainsandThings]

I think I'm kind of falling into this hobby. Nice video.

[@TomsTrainsandThings]

You'll enjoy it

[@Shelfandtabletoplayouts00gauge]

Doing the far side must be a challenge. Looks a really neat method 👍

[@TomsTrainsandThings]

Not too difficult

[@steve7858]

Great job! I only wish the camera was closer so those of us watching this on our smart phones can see better :-)

[@TomsTrainsandThings]

You can always cast to your TV or watch on a big computer screen

[@sparky107107]

easy peasy

[@TomsTrainsandThings]

Most definitely

[@garyoverton6222]

The white on the tar paper looks like weathering.

[@TomsTrainsandThings]

A little too much for me. I'll blend in some dirt with it

[@michaeldjoven80]

What do you think of using sand for ballast? Thank-you Mike.

[@TomsTrainsandThings]

If it's small enough

[@jamestown57]

Should use the butt end of a screwdriver after placing the ballist to tap the rail and make sure none of it is too high so you don't derail

[@TomsTrainsandThings]

If there is too much ballast, tapping it doesn't spread it away to the low spots. That's why I use my fingers. The brush is to clear guild rails and points

[@rickdee67]

I’ve found a method that I should be able to replicate! Put the camera closer so we can see better and is the 91% diluted? Oh and i like soundtrack! Use foil to mask surround areas.
