Date: 07/16/17 10:24 Re: Track Laying in Como, Session #5 Author: meixel We originally put ballast on the track in front of the depot. But if you look at the historic pictures of the DSP&P it looks like they just used dirt everywhere.

One suggestion, though it's not really any of my business, but you'll be happy later on if you use even a little bit of ballast today.
Keep up the good work! -John Date: 07/16/17 10:46 Re: Track Laying in Como, Session #5 Author: meixel John, you're right. We are thinking of putting down ballast and then covering it up with dirt to try and have the best of both worlds.
