I’ve started the rather large task of ballasting my EZ track yard; and thanks to all you folks on the MR forums and a few Youtube videos I’ve gleaned enough pointers that the job is going well.
But the one thing I haven’t seen covered is what to do with those pesky little manual sliders on the turnouts. I certainly don’t want to get any ballast inside there to gum up my (now)CDU-powered switches!
So I came up with a couple of ideas: first, maybe a box cover; but I can’t for the life of me think of what would be a protoype 6 foot box by the side of the track.
Second, and the one I’m leaning towards, is to clip the slider flush or deeper and cover the slot with a bit of grey duct tape. I usually pre-glue the track base with some WS Scenic Glue so covering duct tape is quite simple.
Suggestions?
