Oh big tip saw you talking about ballast my new layout now I'm working on is in scale but my Primo layout was HO scale sand in different colors was great and cheap and you got a lot Michaels crafts store I'm sure you've heard of them you could shop there for a lot of things sand gravel and tree accessories for ballast and trees and sand I didn't do any Woodland scenic's it was too expensive
Now just get your kadee decoupler magnet put on the truck if it's ho you're working with sit right on top of the truck you can put your car on the switch track over the magnet put it in reverse and leave the car there had them on my layout they work great for different Industries to drop off cars
You are in a position now if you take this hobby seriously and have a good eye for detail hope you're not married or have a girlfriend because once you get into this it can be very time-consuming and a good proper finish of nice scenery and a detailed layout depending on the size of your room could be a year or so because there will be times let you get bored with building and just need to take a break and if you have another half she will be bugging you about that too so stick with it if you like it have fun I did it was great detailed mine pretty much to the max had fun doing it hope you do too
No wife, no GF, no kids, a good job, and in an aria with pretty low cost of living so I'm in a good place in my life for this kinda thing but I do have other hobbies that I like to jump around too...
