There are quite a few topics on ballasting. Do a search and see what comes up.

Do a YouTube search too: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_quer...p;search=Search

You'll find quite a few videos on how to go about it.

If you are going to use the track-mat underlay, perhaps secure it down to a baseboard underneath first.

Here are three threads on ballasting. They may give you some ideas, or maybe just too much information

thread the first

Thread the second

Thread the third

I used Search - Classic Forum Search and then entered "Ballast" as the search word, restricted it to Track, Layouts and Scenery and finally selected Topic Titles only.

Enjoy

Which ever way you lay it, N gauge ballast is just the right size for 4 mm scale track. If you buy OO scale ballast, odds on it will be too coarse.

I do ballasting like this:

To the writer who said don't use cork floor tiles, just be more selective about the tiles you choose! Pay a little more and you'll get better consistency with thickness.
