Thank you all for the comments that I need building supplies and not craft. That males it easier. I know which box stores I’ll be visiting at the weekend :slight_smile:

I know you didn’t ask this, but a good cost saver down the line…at least when it comes to ballasting. If you go to Home Depot or Lowes, or other hardware store to get your styrofoam, you might pick up a bag of paving sand in the garden center…you then get a couple of different size collanders for sifting…and sift the sand into at least 3 grades of ballast…fine, medium and course. Trust me, it is mucho cheaper than the ballasts you find online… :slight_smile:

Bad idea, ballest may be expencive but not for the amount you use. Remember it ends up being only about 1/8" deep in HO scale. Second most people never get to this stage for one reason or another.
