Rainbows in the Lehigh Valley Gorge

Great idea for ballast, Charlie - another economical solution to a common model railroading problem.

Got my standards gauge yesterday, and as I expected, all of the wheelsets on my M420 are right on for axle spacing, which leads me to the necessity for superelevation in my tighter curves for this loco. I inserted all of my "shims" underneath the roadbed on the outside track around Mud Run Curve and into the north end of Rockport tunnel. If I get an opportunity tonight, I might relay some or all of the track. I usually spread a bead of clear silicone adhesive and lay in the track with some weight on top of it. Wired track joiners are already in place, so I'm not planning on a great deal of effort. As the adhesive's drying I'll add individual ties underneath the track joints. Crossing my fingers that the amount of superelevation does the trick. I should be able to verify at some point this week.
