Thank you everybody, this is one that I'm winging as I go and hope it turns out OK.
Gary,
Thanks for that tip, I was wondering what I was going to do to get the ballast on that flexible part and still have some movement there, and I think that's the answer. It will inhibit the movement some, but I don't need much movement to begin with. Right now I've got about half an inch, I would be happy with half that, so we'll see how that works out. Maybe instead of white glue I can use something more flexible, like rubber cement, to hold the ballast in place and keep some flexibility. I'll experiment a bit and see what works, but the basic idea is great.
