thanks Man that's an awesome idea and heaps cheaper and you can get range of colours and shades as well just goggles our local bunnings that's a hardware store in Perth Australia its like its like $11 for a 1.5kgs so cheap
Make sure you layer it Thin Sift it up and keep wetting it as soon as it dries which if you use alcohol is pdq. And at end I like to seal it with a brushed on glue and iso
Gm brotha i love alot of Kato tracks and accessories but i didnt buy anything else from them due to there turnouts having shorts i'd love to know or get and understanding on which turnout to purchase to alleviate that issue
I like it a lot. Some don’t but I’m trying to show something nicer than normal ballast and much better looking because the grains are finer. Literally 50 colours to choose from
@@Mason-DixonRR I try to explain the benefits to everyone. More realistic, cheaper 20$ for a giant bag, available in any colour, finer than woodland scenics, and not the same colour as everyone else’s. Plus it’s way less mess on the rails and much much easier to apply. You get it!
So far so good I use sparingly around the turnouts frog and points. I use a brushed on coating of alcohol and mod podge to seal it all. I will never go back to ballast. It looks much better and I can pick any color, cost, well 22$ to do an entire layout vs 15$ a canister
Congratulations! You’ve made the most nonsensical post of the year! Pointing to choice of scale train size as a factor in the crumbling of a country…..wow, yup. That’s a doozy! lol.
A fortune to ship vs Lowes Home Depot etc in your town. Yes it’s real rocks. Still doesn’t have the glue built in. The spraying glue on rail and buildings is over. This way is faster cheaper and better in every single way.

Nicely done and excellent tip. Looks great.

@@N_scale and the glue is included, almost a 1 step application.

Great video. Any suggestions for a darker gray grout color that would be appropriate. Thanks.
Yo to you what you like.
Great approach. -Do you have a grout brand you might recommend? I don't know much about it; I'm assuming they have different compositions. Thx.
Looks really, really good. Nice job.
Easy to apply
Not stressful
Cheaper
0:59 One problem with grout is it is powdery. If you get it anywhere close to a Kato #4 turnout, you’ll destroy it.
So far so good

Random question I ask now and then: Has anyone every ballasted doubletrack?
Yep I have same idea
I agree,im never happy with my fine ballast its to big for n scale, love what you did with that it looks awesome real nice 👌 ☘
Thank you it does look so much better. I agree
Wow ,super toller Tipp....dankeeeee.....👍👍👍 Rainer
Why would anyone want a train set so dammed small! No wonder America has problem! Nuts!
It’s a model railroad. What scale you in. HO

Question: sanded or unsanded grout?
Sanded and another schlacking on top to make it smooth
Arizona Rock and Mineral makes lots of colors for different areas.
