Best ways to change ballast colour

[upnick]

Hi Rob,

I use woodland scenics ballast ....... after the glue has gone off it recieves washes of usually very thin black (more thinners than paint) in your case i would get a piece of spare track attach it to a board and experiment with ballast applied and different coloured washes, for the pinky ballast try humbrol #73 very much thinned down to the consitency of milk over the grey ballast if its too much paint keep applying thinners till your happy with the shade.

I have used thinned green to give a moss effect.
