I run this little sentinel slowly over the whole layout to pick up any issues with the track before ballasting begins. It has been temporarily connected to a dcc chip. So far so good.

After 7 hours I have finally finished applying the air dry clay to between the sleepers to create an ash ballast base. Just got to clean up any plaster fouling the track, spray paint and lay the ash ballast.

Now the ash ballasting gets a little tricky around the three way point.

As the Royal Navy sidings track is going to be ash ballast and fairly neglected, I'm building up the ground level to the height of the sleepers, then it will be ballasted with a very fine ballast to represent ash. A slow and painful process but well worth it in the long run.

The last track to be tested and all works well running the 0-4-0 sentinal at slow speed. Now I can get on and fill the holes where the point rodding is, airbrush the track then ballast it.
