I'm back with another tutorial and one that I think will be very helpful for a lot of people: How To Ballast Points.
Ballasting points can be very nerve-wracking if you're a beginner and you want to get the track on your model railway looking good but you don't want the points to stop working! There's all sorts of problems that can arise here from grains of ballast jamming up the point mechanism to glue sticking the blades together and cutting out the power supply. Luckily I've built up a little process on how I like to ballast points which I'll share with you today.
