I would airbrush the tracks instead of handpainting. Safes a lot of time. Bud, the result of your work is one of the best I've seen so far. Thumbs up👍. Greetings from the Čech Republic.
Thanks for your comment and compliment! I also think that an airbrush would be better for a large layout. Eventually, there are many ways to ballast and this is just one of those.
Thank you. Thank you. Your videos are very detailed. You showed us the little things in such a simple way. Before I felt intimidated. After watching your video I feel much more confident about the process.Thanks for sharing . Hope to see more.Regards.

This is truly inspiring. Thanks for the detailed video, the result is so real.
I have seen other railroad modelers use an old nylon over the end of the vacuum cleaner in order to pick up the extra gas so that it can be more easily used later after being returned to its container.
Thank you very much, also ballasting my layout, but i dont have cork bed, but with your tutorial im happy to know im not the only one, you give me a lot of great look!!
Not at all, it is well deserved praise by anyone's standard. Listen, if they give thumbs down to Elvis, nobody's got a chance of avoiding them! They're just mischief makers. Keep up the good work.
Great techniques re the ballast but DO NOT use abrasives on the rail surfaces! Micro scratches in the surface will gather dirt and impair electrical contact.
I have often wondered exactly how to remove glue from the railhead - or stop it getting on there in the first place. I think a latex masking fluid is probably the best idea. Opinions?
Naast aarde uit de tuin gebruik ik Woodland Scenics Turf (T40) als basis, zie ook de ondertiteling op 4:55. Bij het filmen van m'n laatste diorama heb ik een video speciaal aan het groen gewijd, zie daarvoor de video Elektrostatisch gras en begroeiing toevoegen.
Wow is all i can say. Very impressed with the result. I have always had a problem when i do the glue mixture around the switches..sometimes they lose contact. How do you keep them from getting glued in position? Love the result from the static grass. Got to get me one of those!
Thanks! In this diorama the switch did not have to work, but when it should, then I try to move the points continuously while ballasting. I also use just a little bit of glue per time. When it's done and the glue is drying, I keep switching it. If it seems that there is ballast or glue somewhere in the wrong place, I immediately remove it. It's still a bit of a risk, but I also don't like a switch without ballast, so the risk is fine to me. (hope this message has no weird errors, I'm not sure about certain terms in English :))
Less used rails i wipe down with dry cotton balls maybe a bit of alcohol but just a pinch (clean them enough for electrical contact). Heavy used rails same but I dont paint the surfaces of those at all
Thank you! I think you can also use this method for N scale with finer ballast. I have no experience making grass in N scale, but I think 4 mm fibers from Woodland Scenics are OK for some wild greenery.
NL Ik vind het top werk! Ik snap niet hoe je dit gedaan heb je moet ProRail (De Nederlandse Spoorwegen Bedrijf) Laten zien.UK I love this work! I don't get It How u did this.And The locomotive Diesel 6400 De MAK Camed In.You need to show ProRail (Dutch Railway Company) This work It's amazing!
Brilliant and makes a change to actually see someone working on a layout instead of just talking about it then showing the finished result keep it up
There's lots of other ballasting videos, but this one really captures how much a lightly-used siding gets overwhelmed by grass!
This is amazing!!! If I didn't know it was a mockup, I would have thought it was real
ive seen a ton of how to ballast track but this The BEST ballast video that i have ever seen hands down!!!!!
Ziet er fantastisch uit! Dank voor de video!
Absolutely fantastic piece of modelling, thanks for sharing.
You have done a great job and the model is looking very real
Damn! How much better can it actually look- great job!
WOW! Awesome fine detail. Great work and patience.
Outstanding realism. Very nicely done.
Amazing results. Cheers from the US
Awesome video, great channel!
Thank you very much!

Wat een werk! Maar dan heb je ook wat. Prachtig en inspirerend resultaat!

Im not a model maker I dont have a track I may when I retire next year very interesting and very well made and thought out thanks
Its addicting lol
Excelente trabajo!! 👏👏👏👏👏👍👍 Felicitaciones!! Saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷
You are a model genius. Congratulations! It is perfect.
Great piece of video and whats even greater is the subtitles scripe, not straining to understand what is being said, keep up the good work
Found that Play-Sand works great for ballast and at around $4 per 50lb bag, is very economical and can be used on scenery.
Super réaliste .... Quel beau travail et une formidable passion ! Bravo ...
Самое лучшее видео на ютубе!!!!Просто класс!!!Все понятно и доступно!!!ВЫ ЛУЧШИЕ!!!Спасибо за видео.
Very cool. I like the step by step and actual process. Thank you for the watch 👍
Very nice. I will surely apply your techniques
scape the side of are rusting old paint tin and weather the side of the track and anying were else to Bing out the rustic look so it looks realistic.
Thank you for sharing. Excellent work. How do you avoid the points getting stuck?
What skill and patience - going to have a lot of practice to meet such standard!
Awesome job
A tip...use color powder like umbra brown by dirt on the tracks with a brush on it. Clean up with the vacuum cleaner.
I have seen other railroad modelers use an old nylon over the end of the vacuum cleaner in order to pick up the extra gas so that it can be more easily used later after being returned to its container.
Well done. Thank you.
9:20 OMG, 100% real photo
really nice! it looks perfect 👍
VERY nice, great detail.
Thank you very much, also ballasting my layout, but i dont have cork bed, but with your tutorial im happy to know im not the only one, you give me a lot of great look!!
Corkboard is great but foam sheeting for insulation is good too.
Leuk om te zien!
Geeft weer nieuwe inspiratie!
:)
Weer mooi gemaakt Myron top werk !!

Hi. Very interresting end realistic. What do you use to clean the upper surface of the track? Is it sandpaper?
Nicely done sir!!!!
Where do you get the Anita Decor 210? And can you get it in grey color? Cheers from eastern TN
Wow! Which static grass fiber brand are you using here?
Great job! Looks really good! 👍👍
Magnifique ! 👌🇫🇷
Fantastic! No words...
adding dish soap also allows the glue mix to seep into the ballast without leaving the shiny top sheen of glue left behind
Incredible - whoever's given you a thumbs down for this must be very envious of your skill.
Very kind, thank you! It would be interesting to know the real reason for a thumb down, there is always room for improvement.
Not at all, it is well deserved praise by anyone's standard. Listen, if they give thumbs down to Elvis, nobody's got a chance of avoiding them!
They're just mischief makers. Keep up the good work.
Hi,
Love your colours on the weathering for the ballast can you tell me what colours you used, many thanks.
I also need it!
What material did u use to imitate the ground? U didnt mention it in the video
Wow very nice job
Heel mooi gedaan, Myron! Erg onder de indruk!
Great skill m8 well done
beautiful and good job..!
Mooi gemaakt hoor! Ik heb de video bewaard. Het paintbrush/pencil foutje trok ook mijn aandacht haha.
Ik ga dit volgen! goed bezig Myron!
Fantastic job!
Amazing. Where can I learn more about this static grass voodoo????
Watch Luke Towen videos about making dioramas. It can all be applied to making a model railway layout.
Incredible creativity 👍
Very realistic!
What are the switch machines and where did you get them?????
Great video and diorama!
Legal, muito criativo...parabéns!!!
Hello, a beautiful video.
Greetings Gert

@@tanyajackson3833 Painters tape on the rail heads can help keep it off when Ballasting, painting and gluing
Great video ! Good Job , but i wouldnt ballast the moving part of the switch. The ballast could give you some problems...
Not as much problem as cutting the switch in half just before the frog…
Very nice track work here,great video for helping others..
Welke soort strooisels gebruik je om de baan een realistische look te geven? Oa het groen op 5:03
Naast aarde uit de tuin gebruik ik Woodland Scenics Turf (T40) als basis, zie ook de ondertiteling op 4:55. Bij het filmen van m'n laatste diorama heb ik een video speciaal aan het groen gewijd, zie daarvoor de video Elektrostatisch gras en begroeiing toevoegen.

Hi, what did you use to clean the track after you painted ?
Hello J4FT. I am thinking he used a Bright Boy. It is like a hardened eraser that is made for model railroading.
Less used rails i wipe down with dry cotton balls maybe a bit of alcohol but just a pinch (clean them enough for electrical contact). Heavy used rails same but I dont paint the surfaces of those at all
Wow thanks extremely helpful
Very good....alot of these model railroaders fail at this....
Trial and error. After all we dont learn unless we make some mistakes
amazing..i love it!
The most important tool: Patience. Its free, yet hard to get.
Yes fantastic video thank you I’m going to try that on my layout thank you.
Fantastic & great.
Question: how the grass grow so quickly? What is the name of seed?
Btw amazing video!
[thank, you for youre great video]👍
what the backsound name ????

Uitstekend! Dank u wel, dat vind ik heel interessant.
Outstanding!I hope to achieve your skill level one day.Im just wet behind the ears. lol.
Love this
how drybrush?
Gaaf gedaan!
In N scale i could do the same? Is there something similar in N scale for the long grass?
It look so realistic 0.O!
Thank you! I think you can also use this method for N scale with finer ballast. I have no experience making grass in N scale, but I think 4 mm fibers from Woodland Scenics are OK for some wild greenery.
@@spoorinmodel Thx for the answer!
Way cool!
Mooi gedaan 👍
Einfach Klasse gemacht!
Mooi werk 🤗
Superb.
Hammer 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
Great video tutorial ! ;-)
For this i would make a truck that can be opened from sides so it would drop the ballast
Amazing!!!
Mooi gedaan
Nice
NL Ik vind het top werk! Ik snap niet hoe je dit gedaan heb je moet ProRail (De Nederlandse Spoorwegen Bedrijf) Laten zien.UK I love this work! I don't get It How u did this.And The locomotive Diesel 6400 De MAK Camed In.You need to show ProRail (Dutch Railway Company) This work It's amazing!
Instead if mixing water, glue and dish soap you can use hairlaque you can buy it probably at dollar stores or budget stores like aldi Lidl or action.
great work
Welke materialen zitten er in en waat kun je dat kopen?
Brilliant...
