Hi Grace and Rob. Just how I do it, although yours is neater than my ballast. I do 50/50 pva and water, only thing different I use IPA. Great T shirt Rob, can't miss you wearing that one.😉 Be back for a catch up soon. Stay safe you lovely pair. DELPH JUNCTION
Hey Pete, the ipa is what’s in the spray bottle, I may have not mentioned that so I do apologise. Believe it or not he got that too from a race the train… not that he ran it.. we were doing medical cover 😂😂 enjoy the rest of your holiday :)
Looks nice, You might find it easier to pull the ballester the other way when useingit. Also i used to put a few drops of washing up liquid in my PVA/Water mix.
Yeah she did kinda stuff that but up lol, so i did give her a ribbing for it 😂😂, might not have been mentioned but already have the washing up liquid in :)
brilliant update RGJTrains👍ballasting is like marmite (some like it some don't), i done sixty odd foot of it on my first and only layout since getting back into the hobby after 30 years during lockdown and discovering great youtubers like yourself's, i found a gentle tap with a spoon on the rails clears most of the ballast of the sleepers then flick the odd bit off afterwards, i look forward to watching you're progress. 👍
Hiya Rob and Grace. Sounds like you have lots of plans and the next episode is going to be packed. Just remember to paint all of the track with sleeper grime, that you will be ballasting, before you actually do go ahead and ballast it. Oh and don't forget that Sir Captain Static is always here, if you need any help and advice when it comes to static grass... 😀 Mark.
Yeah lots to do, all in a week… see how that actually goes haha! Haha yes don’t worry we will surely call on the captain when time comes. Thanks mark :)
Hi Philip here me and my girlfriend like your layout as we are doing my railway layout in the simler layout in 00 scale what do you think of that let me know
Hi Philip, thats brilliant news, if you decide to vlog your journey, feel free to tag us, our advice would be 1, It's your layout, don't let others tell you what to do, our followers are brilliant with suggestions for us, none have told us what to do 2, BE YOURSELVES, just be totally natural if you do Vlog it, how you see us, is how we are always 3, Go with the flow, plan if you wish, but expect to break that plan on NUMEROUS occasions lol 4, Expect disagreements over things, and find middle ground 5, Always follow rule 1,

Great video and tutorial of the progress you've got going on. I'm a new subscriber per MomandSonTrainRailfans. Would you guys be willing to donate a sticker to my railroad room I'm creating. I'm a disabled Delawarian due to a hereditary nerve disease and don't get out much. I've designated a section of wall to put these on. Thanks again for sharing your videos with us. Cheers from Laurel,Delaware USA
Another great update/episode/show/installment. Lol you’re doing great on the layout. Thank you for the demonstration.
maybe we should call each one all of those 🤣
Ballasting the track makes such a transformation especially as you have painted the sleepers & rails first.
Nice work.
She did very well to be fair, but i forgot to tell her about tapping the rails with a spoon
What are you two like, you do make me laugh. Nice work Grace one day I will be at this stage and I have taken notes.
Ahh like we’ve said, this is just how we are day to day, at least now others can laugh at our expense 😂
Thanks for sharing. Stay safe.
You too Mike hope you’re keeping well
Great job on the ballast Grace, good to see the pair of you as always working in perfect harmony!
Haha thank you, I’m not sure it’s always perfect harmony.. more a ying and Yang 😂😂 grace x

To be honest that’s my fault (Rob) i actually forgot to tell her Grace to do that
nice job on the ballast Grace! And another great video guys!
Thanks Mystic really really appreciated
Tracks Look Awsome👍
Thank you. It’s coming slowly.

Incline, decline - either is okay if you're using it both ways. If you're going to be catty about it, that's feline!
You two are a hoot!!
ahh we always take the mickey out of each other lol, and it’s totally how we are in real life
Good job guys hey is that a 4 rail gauge master? I’ve got my layout drawn up but I still need to clean up to make room for it all as mines dcc modular
it is indeed, and highly recommended it’s a great piece of kit, and i believe comes with a lifetime warranty also
Top Tip for applying 50/50 glue to ballast, get yourself a Lab Wash bottle, or (re)use a Hair die application bottle
not a bad idea. would hold more
@@RGJTrains They are both more controllable too, less spurting than a syringe
I Think It’s Still Gonna Look When Done don’t Rush it.
Yeah it will certainly take time but enjoying the journey.

@@harris4018 ahh a lot of thought put into that
@@RGJTrains do you want a castle
When Painting The Tracks Instead Of Using paper Towels Find Some Sand 150 Grit And Sand The Rails If You Can when Doin the rails.
Thank you we do have the track rubber that once it’s all done we will run it over before running the loop again.

Hi , as yet we’ve not created our own stickers, just the default ones in the youtube shop, once we do, we can start sharing them out.
