feeling rather invisibleduhwhy bother...
After many years in N Scale I have found Woodland ballast floats (it is not rock) so try another brand of Rock Ballast. Then as suggested wet the ballast with a mix of Alcohol and water 25% alcohol to water. Let is soak right in. Then with a good brand of white glue mix 30% glue with 65% water (make sure it is mixed properly) and then add some alcohol.Start slowly and just let the mix sink in bit by bit the gradually go back and keep repeating the process until you see the mix coming from the sub road bed. This means that it has soaked right through the ballast. If you do not let it soak in the ballast will develop a crust and eventually fail.Once you get the hang of it it is easy.So don't give up and have fun.Rod.
There's a question, who sells actual rock ballast?
You ask for others to confirm your info - we did. Why bother?
