After months of planning this, I finally had some time to get my ballast studies
completed for LEGO 9V straight, curve, and switch track. I have posted pictures
along with LDraw generated guide sheets at my
MOCPages Page. Many thanks go
out to Ted and Susan Michon and the whole SCLTC crew for giving me the
inspiration to do these. Ted provided me with the guide SCLTC uses for their
curves. However, the SCLTC scheme just didn’t quite match what I had done with
the straight track on my layout. So, I created me own design and documented it
in LDraw so that others can benefit. Here’s a sample of the ballasted switch.
Straight Track Ballast Study
Curve Track Ballast Study
Switch Track Ballast Study
Questions and comments are appreciated. I also have the LDraw files available
and will likely make them available over at the RailBricks site within the next
few days. Please credit ToT-LUG if you decide to reproduce the guide sheets.
Happy New Year!

| (...) Dave, The ballasted track looks great. I must admit, having seen 6 or 8 LEGO train displays I never appreciated the effort required to ballast curved track. Now I know better. My only suggestion would be to add some jumper plates to the mix. (...) (15 years ago, 2-Jan-09, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
