We asked Tom Johnson how he did the realistic grain spills here
on his Logansport and Indiana Northern layout and he replied,
“I used Z scale Highball ballast which is almost like powder.
I
made the piles, used an eye dropper to carefully apply the wa-
ter/detergent wetting agent, and then applied white glue mixed
with water. After a day of drying, I painted the piles with a dark
yellowish brown color to represent the old rotten corn on the
bottom and then added a brighter yellow paint on top of the
piles for corn that has not rotted yet.”
This is just one of the many photos Tom has posted of his layout
on our website. For lots more photos,
