Lego Track Ballasting

Many posts have been written on ballasting LEGO tracks. They all mention added ballast is “piece intensive”, and the examples I found online use a lot of LEGO pieces.

I still went ahead and I think I’ve found a variant that still looks good, and is (slightly) optimized to reduce the number of bricks. For straight track it consists out a two layers of plates. Curves and switches have 1 layer and need to be propped up with tiles (when attaching to baseplates).
