N Scale- KATO Unitrack

I'm going off the rails on a crazy train!

When I first started, I looked for ease of set up. I didn't feel like cutting tacks and pinning things together; although you can get any radius with this method, I chose an easier route. Kato Unitrack looked easy and are easy. Enough said. However, I when I got more into detailing, I want to make the tracks look as real as possible. 

Some hobbyists paint the tracks which look realistic. But I took a different approach. 
First I buried the tracks in medium gray ballast.. Then, it's hard to see from this picture, but I added some brown umber to Scenics glue and soaked the ballast with the glue. It keeps the track secure and the ballast from going all over the place. Finally, I added a little foliage for a nice finishing touch.

Not too shabby.

Let me know what you think.

Cheers,

Stephen
