Looking good!

How do you ballast around the moving parts of the switches?

Tom, I haven't done the switches here yet but when I do it will be mostly outside the rails. Under the points I just apply enough ballast to cover the base and I apply the wet glue to the outside and let it weep under. You have to be careful the glue and ballast doesn't get under the throw bar. Wayne uses a little oil on the points to keep the glue from sticking which would also work under the throw.
