What did you use for the load?

RooOGR Forum Member

A piece of 5MM MDF or ply (57mm X 250mm) with white foam glued to it then carve to a mound painted with white glue sprinkled with Woodlands Buff ballast sprayed with white glue and water more sprinkles of ballast then left in the Hot West Aussie sun for 4 hours resulting in a very firm nothing loose load. Roo.

I can't imagine why, Roo. Your layout is a cracker.

I'm trying to find an excuse to visit to see it in the flesh. nod

Very nice. I like that you have different patches of ballast around the yard. It makes the scene even more convincing and adds interest.
