    murphy, you didnt glue it down? how did you keep it in place? im going to try to glue it down, someone said wash it and then let it dry? wouldnt it clump up? i dont have a cat dont care for them so no worries there :rolleyes:
     
  2. I originally got the ideal after watching Union Pacific work trains roll past my house dropping the ballast down on the roadbed. I dont glue mine down some spots will somewhat shift down, but it seems pretty realistic to me because the ballast on the UP next to my house moves around alot when a train rolls bye. If some spots start to get weak I just add more it really builds up some roadbed looks kinda nice too. Hope this will help.
    Ship it on the Frisco!!!
