In this episode: a beginners' guide to ballasting PLUS how to weather ballast to create a realistic looking track bed.

Based on the classic Ealing comedy, The Ladykillers - in Episode 6 of my step-by-step BRAND NEW MODEL RAILWAY BUILD series on building an exhibition layout, I explain the basics of ballasting including how to weather ballast to make it look super realistic.
