Great new series. I’m getting ready for scenery so the timing is spot on.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and skills. It is inspiring. Your train room is top notch!

Very informative video, Sean. The success of the techniques you use shows in how the overall layout looks so neatly arranged for visual effect. A very pleasing and realistic look! Looking forward to more tips on scenery.

Most excellent. I to believe "support the business that supports you.

Repeat Albert’s comment below, your spacial arrangement of items on the layout is outstanding, very pleasing. Look forward to all future sessions, especially ground cover. Currently building intermediate layout ( somewhere around 2 or 3 4x8’ sheets) to learn Legacy command control, Cab2, before larger one. These session will be great help. thanks, Les

This video is great! Thanks for sharing your tips!!

Looking good. We usually give the track a wash with black Indian ink for the customers layouts that we build that are using fast track. We found this easier and faster. Looks great and brings out the details in the plastic ballast.

Thanks so much for the video Sean Love all the videos

Sean nice showing how to ballast fastrack!!!

Great video Sean! Thanks for sharing! Have a great and awesome day! Happy Thanksgiving!

Awesome, thanks for sharing Sean 😊👍

Great layout, Looks fantastic. Thanks for sharing.

Nice video. Great content and well delivered without a lot of nonsense.

Great video Sean, thanks for the awesome tips.

after i put on the ballast i spray it with dish soap mixed with water that breaks the surface tension perfectly and to fix the ballast in place I use Ponal wood glue mixed with water and dish soap as well also works great to fix Sand for Dioramas as well

Thanks for sharing.

Great job

Very interesting 👍

Great vid Great channel first time subscriber 🇬🇧

Hi Sean, thank you sharing on how you do your ballasting and product’s that you use. Oh I noticed a couple of my comments were gone and I don’t know why. Have a Happy Thanksgiving

Prior to setting the FasTrack and doing the Ballasting, any recommendations on things to do to reduce the noise of the FasTrack. For example, should I lay down sound board or homasote on to of the plywood, then use silicone instead of screws thru the homasote into the plywood?

Great video, I really like Lionel fastrak but I wish they would come out with a greater selection of turnouts and switches, Ross and Atlas have a much greater selection.

Hi Sean! Great video, and thanks for sharing all of your knowledge! My question is, do you ballast each piece of Fastrack individually and THEN put it all together and secure it to your platform? Hope that’s not a dumb question, I’m in the process of putting my first layout (8x8) together. Also, did you put ground cover directly onto your plywood, or do you have a foam layer for noise insulation? - Matt

Also at 17:10, What process/materials did you use for the swampland between the two tracks! 👍🏽

I have a model train layout I use Lionel fast track but I don't blast my track I use the track bad it came with

Theoretically speaking… couldnt you use kitty litter that is close in color? I would think it would give the same representation and could be purchased in such large quantities for lower price. The only concerns I would have would be major dust possibly? & if its scented ie:lavender the room wouldn’t reak like cats? Dumb idea? Idk just a thought. Maybe if the room had too much humidity it would cause a mess. I need to ballast my sets.

cant find super wet from scenic express

could you use jet dry?
