HO Stub Switch
Eye level view of an HO scale code 70 stub switch I built this week for an upcoming article in Model Railroad Hobbiest magazine, due out shortly.

Looks great!
that track work is incredible, I thought that was an example of the real turnout you were trying to replicate. Great work.
Wow. What did you use for ballast? It’s obviously a mixture assorted materials and not just off the shelf WS stuff.
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.
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.
