I have just spent a couple of hours ballasting the track. I have used a mix of Green Scenes ballast, stones from the beach and some sieved sandstone. Once the loose ballast was in place I misted on some Isopropyl Alcohol and then a 50/50 mix of Mod Podge and water with a touch of washing up liquid dripped on with a pipette. In these images the ballast glue is still wet but as long as I don't touch it, it should be OK by the morning.
I purposely built up the ballast around the buffer stops in a haphazard manner as I wanted the area to look un-kept.
I did have a slight issue with the 'wet water' getting in to one of the points, but is seems to have dried up now and both points looks to working freely.
I'll try tidying up the track tomorrow so expect another update soon.
Tony
