Can I ask what static grass you used 'before' and 'after'? Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Hi Ian, before I used summer green grass mixture between woodland scenic and green scenes long fibres. After I mixed in some spring of both brands mentioned previously and added some darker scatter over the top of the static grass. Much more realistic to have lots of different colours now and a fade of colours on the embankments. thanks, Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrentValleyRailway Posted April 30, 2021 Author Share Posted April 30, 2021 A detailed look at the track laying for the inclines and transition from inclines to the scenic section. The track is code 75 and is pinned down on the inclines whilst the transition to the scenic section track is glued down with copydex. Part 2 will eventually follow looking at the track laying on the main lines and container depot for the scenic section. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt, May I ask which ballast you used for the mainlines? It looks about the right 'colour' for my own layout, if the black bits were removed. I'm hoping you 'added' the black stones as your own 'mix' and that the remainder of the ingredients would be suitable. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian hello, I then went on to weather up the track rails and ballast so the darker stones are now not as much of a stand out. For the ballast on the mainline it is Hattons modern grey blend - fine thanks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm torn between a 'grey' and a 'buff' colour and not sure which one to go with. Looks like I'll have to get a sample of each and try them out.
