    Track Ballast

    No I only did the one end to see what it looked like. Total investment about 9 bucks ( 2 bags of ballast ) and some water and glue.

    Track Ballast

    the more I looked at the brown ballast, the more I hated it. So as of today it's gone. Sucked up by my shop vac. I am going with a medium grey in a finer grain.

    Track Ballast

    My first attempt at ballast in over 20 years. I used a Medium Dark Brown. I am now thinking I should of used a grey or lighter colour. Maybe a finer grain also.

    dayliner info ?

    how many windows are there meant to be? The unit only has one powered truck and it has problems on the grade on my track. The crest is on a turn and it has a down hill grade through a tunnel. I think I need a cable car. It's long with the trucks right at the end. I think they were 85' or 90' units.

    dayliner info ?

    I picked up the RDC today. It's a Proto 1000 in VIA colours. I like it. Only issue is my tracks don't. I have 22" and 18" radius corners. It will do the 22 ok as long as the inner tracks are clear. As to the 18 well lets say it keeps the brush trimmed back.
