Hi Jonathan...

http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=2934

elevate the track by one plate.  i tend to use 1x8 plates on the track
ends and then add 2 1x2 plates in the center of the track section span.
fill in with very light gray and lt gray pieces from the mosiac set,
placing them in a random pattern as opposed to strict checkerboard fashion.

i have a post somewhere on lugnet explaining this in more detail and
with estimates of linear distance one can cover with a mosiac set.

ps: glanced over your pics of the elevated subway.  great stuff as always!

Hi Chris,
thanks for the reply and link. that is exactly what I am looking to do.
I found your study of ballast as well.

I didn't know it was called ballast....(townie factor)

Thanks for the compliments & thanks again for pointing me in the right
direction.

Best,
Jonathan
