I have ballasted the track on my little layout. I must admit the thought of sprinkling glue around the points made me a little nervous. When I started I found I enjoyed the job – it’s strangely relaxing. And, with a big of care, it worked out quite well.

I did manage to stick one point but it was only a small blob of glue and it was easy to remove. After a good session of track cleaning everything is working fine.

I couldn’t resist putting the buildings and walls roughly in place to see what it will look like. What do you think?
