...Can you tell me more about your trick with wood ash and sifted dirt?
No trick really...it's just something I experimented with...I'm not sure about the exact ratio...maybe 50/50...?
The weired thing is that the ash completely disappears when you wet everything down to bond it, & then gradually re-appears about 24 hours later when everything is dry...
I was trying to go for the look of track that has "gone to sod", but still had some traces of old cinder ballast left...
Here's another picture of the trestle scene wwith some more trees added...
