Instructions/ideas for ballasting curves?

Recommended Posts

I am building a contribution to a shared train layout and we are using the NILTC standards https://niltc.org/standards/track-specifications The standard we follow has ballast starting 2 studs in from the edge then the track 2 studs later then 8 studs of track then 2 studs more ballast (so the ballast is 12 studs wide) and we have 2 layers of plate on top of the baseplate then the track on top of that.

Anyone got any instructions (or LDD files or clear easy-to-follow photos) on how to ballast a standard 90° curve? (4 standard LEGO curve tracks)

Oh, no, sorry - I meant the PennLUG people who are responsible for a number of those designs. Everything they build is top notch... but I also have some friends who had pretty bad experiences with the group. Not going to say more.
