Bury it.Seriously. That's been my technique.I use foamcore to bring the level of the ground up about even with the ties, and then paint, dirt and ballast.Take a look at the Bridesburg stuff here: https://conrail1285.com/tag/ttrak/
spent a lot of time last night looking at techniques and it seems as though theres more work, working with it than there is just using something else. I decided to use the Peco55 I have and Micro Engineering "flex" for this project. The Kato is working to mock things up and then I'll donate it to one of the kids in the club.ThanksJoe
This is going to be a sort of indecent proposal So Joe, MTL is producing accurate well made rolling stock, accessories and a couple of nicely built loco's. The fact that you are having trouble sourcing reliable track that looks good should get you thinking. How about MTL looking at producing code 55 track that is easy to lay and bullet proof operationally. A kind of combination of Atlas code 55 / ME /Kato track and maybe even code 40. If you crack that, the market is yours!
Did Atlas Ditch the code 65 TruTrack?Lee
The best looking Unitrak I've seen - by far - is @davidgray1974 's, for example:https://www.therailwire.net/forum/index.php?topic=48759.msg647877#msg647877(Impressive plane models too!) Many more shots can be found in his post histrory:https://www.therailwire.net/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=2390;area=showposts;start=0
Yea, I didn't even know that was Unitrak..What happened to David, anyway, I miss his postings. Beautiful work...
