The ground level is starting to take on some reality. After painting rails and ties, the track was ballasted this afternoon (still drying). I also had a small packet of coal dust (my supplier hasn't come through yet with refuse from his bags of anthracite) which I spread in amongst the gravel. Next will be permanently placing my piers and adhering the first floor to the backdrop. I'll be removing some of the gravel I put down to get a nice flat surface for each pier.
