"Best of ballasting"
Some of the techniques in this video has previously been presented as a part of video tutorials on other topics, or previously presented alone, but in this video been revised with improved techniques. My intention is to provide an up-to-date inspirational "one-stop-shop" video for viewers searching for how to ballast H0-scale tracks.

You are not human- You are an artistic machine from another world!!!.. I cannot get enough of your videos!!.. I love them very much and you are an absolute artist...
This video was randomly on my recommendation..don't know why? I've never built a train set in my life never mind a 3D world to accompany 1..after watching this video I'm interested :-)
Model/toy Trains are allways fun!!!! I allways find the bigger sizes like 0 Guage to be the most fun! But they can be costly. So do what you will. But model trains are super fun go try it!
It's called world's best hobby for a reason
same here
Me too!!
Be careful... you could easily get the fever of that’s hard to shake off! 😁
Really liked the cobblestone technique....
One of the best and more informative channels on TH-cam. Always enjoy this guy’s tutorials. Seems like a really nice guy to boot.
After years of buying three monthly railway magazine I find your you tube channel the best keep up the good work mark
I listen to your videos to help myself fall asleep because I have sleep trouble and your voice is amazing.
Thanks. A lot.
I love the way your trains run so slowly. Normally a train running so slowly is usually jerky
You make this look easy, which tells me that you're a master at it. I'm just starting out (just finished designing the track layout), so I'm excited to try some of these techniques. Thanks for the help!
Merci pour ces petites astuces et le magnifique décors que vous nous montrez. --- Thank you for these little tips and the beautiful scenery you are showing us.
This was a great help Mark. Did my first ballasting last year and it didn't go that well. seeing you do it gave me confidence to try again, at least at level 1. Thanks again!
Just getting back into HO scale after 30 years. Wow.. So much change. Awesome video. Very well done!
Wow, that's an insane amount of detail and work for a foot or two of track 👏👏👏
Wonderful, the most important techniques compressed in one video. Clear and understandable
I never would have thought use clay for concrete between the rails. Nice job. I learned something new today.
The red cobblestone reminds me in my childhood growing up in Bronx, New York. It also in a Walthers cobblestone red brick street scene. Ahhh wonderful 📹 video ☺
This is what I need for my new ho scale model I’m making thx
Looks great. Cant wait to finish my house so I can start my layout
Great video as always man, I'll have to try to remember this for when I get around to building my layout
I appreciate your talent and your patience. While you're doing all this I set up all my trackwork and I'm running my trains while you're still fooling around with ballasting. LOL thanks for posting
Again, wonderful results with simple materials. You inspire my modeling and give me ideas for making it better! Thank you.
Great idea. Thanks for sharing. Great layout! Greetings from Bulgaria.
Nice. I always have had a soft spot for continental models.. I lived in the Netherlands for 3 years with my job, and bought loads of Dutch models.
... your channel is one of the best on YT on the rail models topic !!!
Thank you! You’re among the best viewers taking your time to post positive feedback! Wish you a nice weekend!
Great tutorial! I really like the disused track with the asphalt patches. Thanks for sharing these really helpful techniques.
Hej Martin! Perfect timing for your tutorial, in short im going to ballast my main rails. So i can perfectly use your tips! greets, xflow
What a fantastic guy, very clear tutorial and he's a credit to TH-cam videos and the Model Railway Hobby...
Wonderful work! Very well explained and easy to understand...just hard for a begginer as I haha!
Thanks for another awesome tutorial! For peeling the thin clay off the table, try using an artist's pallet knife instead of a hobby knife. They've got nice thin blades and an offset handle that would work perfectly. They have lots of great hobby uses.
Waxed paper might do the trick also
This should carry a warning on addiction potential lol it’s great 👍🏻
Man this looks so satisfying.
Simply amazing. Thank you for sharing !!!.
Very much enjoyed it. Inspirational. Still a little while off before I get to put this in practice!
Another wonderful video. Just an FYI, Woodland Scenics makes a nice rust pen.
I want a whole railway with this as well
Hi Mark. Incredible work, you have a great talent. Thank you for your great videos. They are very informative and you provide great ideas. I am modeling my O scale set after the Cass Scenic RR. I am using Ross track which I weather the ties by scraping with an X-acto knife, then used acrylic paints and washes. The rails were painted with burnt umber solid, then misted with rust using an air brush both times. The MIG acrylic asphalt you mentioned is brilliant which I will be adding to my track modeling the grease streaks the Shay locomotives leave on the track. Thank you for all the great ideas and inspiration for my set!
I'm always looking forward to your tutorials. This one on ballasting I can't wait to try in my switch yard on my layout at home. Thanks so much for posting.
Fascinating. Your voice is like ASMR. I feel i've been hypnotised in to buying a train set !! Ha ha.
There's more to a Trainset, you always have to get new resources, I've been searching for some stuff for months now!
thankyou for showing us a cheap way to make a rock face. good job and the bloopers yep the struggle is real lol
Hello, When rollng out the clay for cobblestones, place the clay on some parchment paper. Then roll the clay. The clay will not stick to the parchment, or at least comes away very easily. Bob S - Cleveland Ohio
This is a harbour "der Extraklasse"!!! Lovely work once again!
Incredible work..a true artist..I can certainly use alot of these techniques.
Wie immer ein Super Video
Ein Dankeschön an dieser Seite 👍👍👍👍
Helt otroligt , super ! Detta ger mersmak och man vill verkligen bygga vidare på sin anläggning . Tack för en super välgjord instruktions video .

Wow! Fabulous work.
Subscribed!! 👍👍 I will be building my very first true HO layout. I been collecting 30 + years for the day I would have the space to build a big layout. That time is here and I have my benchwork built at 20’ X 17’ X 20’ with a return inlet of 8’ X 6’. I will be using some of your videos as reference as I begin this journey.
VERY AMAZING MINI RAIL...
I would like to give you more than one thumb's up. 😀 Nice work, good explanation
Love your video.
Railway modeller s are in truth 3 dimensional artists.
Imagine how some of the great world artists would have built a model railway.
Well not Picasso his art was to abstract.
Yes. That,s. Super fine technic for model rail
Hi Mark.. Good to see you...
The tutorial is the best ! Thank you for posting !
Thank you! I think I like the clay method more than drywall mud (gypsum joint compound). I'm anxious to try it!
Great idea with the clay, but you make it look way to easy :)
Muy util Los videos que compartido con nosotros. Muchas graciasssss
Thank you. Another superb tutorial. Big thumbs up!
Thank you!
Looks awesome and real, love the "cobblestone with asphalt'...😍😍
I like your ‘close enough is good enough’ approach. Precision has it’s place but ballast track is not one of them. It was a shame you had to cover the stone ballasted track.
Hi! Thank you Trevor! Well, true. However I make these videos to spread inspiration and show how to use different techniques. They are not a documentary of me building my model railroad. The harbour will probably be replaced over time as well..
This was a very interesting and informative video 📹👍. I like the concrete idea 💡and the cobble stone idea; I must try them. Cheers 🍻
Amazing
Hello, your tutorials are really great! I have an oo gauge railway and my grandad has a gauge 1 railway (Im on his account) and we love watching your videos together! :D All the best, Ellerker and grandad
Bravo!!! Great ideas! Greetings from Serbia
Hello Marklinofsweden, your videos grabbed me during my vacation. I think I have all seen the videos at least once. I still have to raise my thumb and make a donation. What I wonder, I see that you use standard material everywhere, either from the hardware store, or from a model building store. Have you ever thought of using natural materials? I am on holiday in Spain and find beautiful stones here, to be used as ballast along the rail. Not only unique but also as a reminder of a place I have been. I think this will make a model railroad even more personal. thanks for your answer! And compliments for the way you explain things, you are the only one who not only tells but also immediately shows how you do it. So thumb high!
Beautiful work made easy.
fantásticas técnicas para resultados sobresalientes
You are a true artist genius.
Great work!! Lots and lots to learn from you. Cheers.
Really nice and simple painting techniques, looks great :)
Kindly regards from germany and thank´s for sharing another great TUTORIAL again Martin! "DER Z-CRACK" Modelrailroadvideos in scale Z
Another great video - thanks so much!
i would love to have seen how you went about removing the dry paint from the rails. At 12:48 the rails were suddenly clean of any paint. Amazing work though!
Excellent guide
Brilliant!
Beautiful layout
I like not only this video, i like al jour video's
[thank, you for youre helpful video]
Martin, Hello! & Thank You For The Post.
Outstanding video
Absolutely brilliant tutorial! Thank you very much!
Great video 👍👌🏻👍👌🏼👌🏻
Hi,
Brilliant video again. This is proper modelling using basic materials. I love scratch building, it makes modelling affordable to anyone. Some brilliant results there, well impressed.
Where can those rollers be bought. Thanks for posting these videos, they're fantastic.
Cheers, Rich
Great video. Thanks!
Hello Martin, a friendly suggestion for making the clay very thin.......try rolling it on a sheet of wax paper.
That’s a brilliant idea! Thank you! I’ll try it! Wish you a nice weekend!
Parabéns... perfeito... saudações do Brasil....
Un artiste.👌👍
👍 bravo pour ce tuto .
Hello very Beautiful Video 👍👍👍
Ik blijf er naar kijken
Awesome tutorial Martin. Love from Canada.
Hammer !! 💡 💡
Mange Tak
Looks great!
I am absolutely loving your tutorials they are stunning and the way you break things down is so easy to follow.I have been using the spraying method onto the tracks but for some reason it seems to stop the locos running as no power reaches them? Am I missing something or not doing things as they should be?
Thanks in advance for you time and help
Mycket informativ video som alltid, har fått lite tips. Skulle uppskattas att se hur du skulle balastera C/M räls.
