Re: Update on Me

Thanks Steve, I appreciate it.  I'm using a Ballast King for the tracks and a measuring spoon to lay the ballast on the switches.  I'm gluing it down with Woodland Scenics cement after reducing the surface tension with an alcohol/water mixture.

Thanks for sharing!  That's some nice ballast work.  Makes mine look 
down right messy.

Sarah will turn 6 months next week, so that is taking up almost all of my time.  Before she was born, I was able to get all the track laid down on the first level of the new layout and get it wired, so I can run trains on the layout.  I have since (in the last 6 months), wired the switches and I just recently started balasting (I have about 1/4 done).  I also got the position set for my Atlas Bridge will is the start of the second level (you can see it on the last picture - the base of the bridge just sets in the U bracket so it will be removable so you can walk in the room).  As soon as I have the balasting done, I can start the second level.  :)
