Bridge at South Wayside

...Those big high slopes are a pain! ...

Gary, I do use a two step process for ballasting slopes.
1. apply white glue with a brush on the slope and throw a thin layer of ballast on it.
The first layer of ballast creates a very uneven surface that holds the final ballast very well
2. apply the final level of ballast as usual (ballast first, glue later)
