Ballast!

A test section of ballast has been laid in carndonagh station. I’d like to hear your thoughts! I used woodland senics fine grey ballast and modge podge glue watered down and applied with a spray bottle. Once I get 4 more point motors I’ll ballast the whole section. Comment!

Its correct name is Mod Podge and is an acrylic water based sealer/glue.

 

I’ve had a quick Google and apparently Hobby Craft stock it. I’d never heard of it before, but it looks quite useful!

 

Thanks for the heads up:-)

CTMK has used Mod Podge for fabric-based projects in the past, so I had heard of it, but my preference would always to use some kind of PVA for ballasting, whether applied neat with a paintbrush between the sleepers or in diluted form (with some dilute washing up liquid) on top of already-laid dry ballast.
