@dagoodsoldier6715 I'm making a video covering all my scenery. It's gonna be post-Christmas so I would keep an eye out for it. For ballast - 1) paint where you want the ballast to be (on the decking, not the track). 2) after the paint drys, put a layer of Elmer's white glue on top of the paint and about halfway up the side of the Fastrack ballast. 3) put Woodland Scenics ballast (or what you use. I use Woodland Scenics - Gray Blend, Course Ballast) on the area that is coated with glue. Do this directly after applying the glue. 4) add enough ballast to the point of your liking on-top of the 5) Spray the area of Ballast with Hyrdogenproxide and then put a mixture of Water and Elmer's white glue and just put spoon full of it on it. 6) wait for it to dry and fix if needed.
