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)
Thanks for that tip, Reinhard. I did some more ballasting at the South Wayside bridge last night. I did have a few places where the ballast "eroded" down the slope. Of course, that can be fixed later. I'll give your method a try.
