Ballasted track.

Well, this bit of track has dried and I am happy with the outcome. Trust me, the other side of the track is weathered.
Now the track must be thoroughly cleaned and any rougue pieces of ballast removed- usually they lurk between check rails and abve rail chairs.
So, out with the track rubber and fiberglass brush to make sure that running is smooth.
I have not had a stuck point this time because I set each one at mid-throw so there was no blade contact.
Just one more board to do and running checked before scenery!
