Ground Covering


Recommended Posts

Hi all, I'm currently planning my ballasting and figured I best plan the overall ground coverage before I lay the ballast.

 

As I understand it there are three basic ground coverings...

  • Ballast
  • Ash ballast for sidings
  • Das Clay for ground which is level to sleeper height

Is this correct?

 

What would you suggest for ground covering between tracks? As you can see on the track diagram I've got a section of ground between the main line and the loop. Would this be level ground with no ballast?

 

Should I cover all ground with Das Clay and build things up from there?

Many thanks, as always sorry about the questions

Are there no photos on t'interweb from the period you are modelling of real locations? Different eras and different railway builders may have done different things.
