I’m not great at ballasting track either and I’ve been modelling for over 20 years! With N gauge you need to be meticulous about track laying and ballasting otherwise you get poor running.
I’m getting to the stage where Kato track is beginning to look appealing.
All I can say is that you shouldn’t be afraid to re do things if you aren’t happy with the result. I have often resorted to re doing scenery, it’s part of the learning process.
