Scratch built train tracks.
SCRATCH BUILD: Having completed Two Train Stations, scatter terrain for a train station and a Train Engine with coal storage carriage, it was obvious the next project was going to be "Train Tracks". follow the link for info, images and tutorial:

Re: Scratch built train tracks.
Excellent job - and equally good tutorial. Well done, Mr Bond - an MBE* in the New Years' Honours, I think.

Simple and superb.

Re: Scratch built train tracks.
Very nice!
An alternative approach that I've had some success with in the past is to nudge the ballast into place with a dry paint brush and then use a eye-dropper to drip on water-diluted PVA mixed with a tiny amount of washing-up liquid. Capillary action does a great job of distributing the glue between the grains of ballast.
