    Laying down road bed

    ? about ballast ....

    On a double mainline for a big RR it would have a dip in the middle to pool and drain water. For a double mainline on a small or poor RR it would have a lot less ballast and therefore it would have a patche of ground between the ballast for the grass etc to grow. So if your RR is a big high...

    Rotary tool price alert

    I just found out that Zellers, here in Vancouver anyhow, is selling a rotary tool with some extras for $14. It will not be high powered but it will do the job. I have a dremel and a cheap one. The cheap one will bog down a bit when pressured, but for small jobs it is great. I don't know if...
