  2. that track work is incredible, I thought that was an example of the real turnout you were trying to replicate. Great work.

  3. Wow. What did you use for ballast? It’s obviously a mixture assorted materials and not just off the shelf WS stuff.

  4. For a moment I thought you were again trying to pass off real as a model – then I looked closer – no tie plates!

    Nice work Tim.

  5. Hi,

    The ballast is from Scenic Express, just a brown dirt type material. No other ballast materials used. The little weeds are also from Scenic Express, the rest is all Woodland Scenics materials.
