I thought maybe a few people might be interested in my method of applying ground cover. Most methods involve some means of covering gaps in benchwork to provide a smooth surface. Mine is as easy as using pieces of those plastic grocery sacks we seem to accunulate in inexhaustable amounts.

I cut them into strips that I place over the gaps, then hold them down with scotch tape, then I put a layer of ground cover over them and fasten it down with a liquid latex and water mixture. This allows the ground cover to remain flexible so it will expand and contract and not break up



I have also usedpaintable window calk to fill gaps

Looks good Ken. I see you've got a couple different levels of track. Do you have your siding and spur tracks pretty much laid on the "ground"? Merry Christmas! Barry

Actually, what you're looking at is two legs of a wye across the top of what I call Mooar Yard. I use it to turn locomotives and passenger trains that arrive and depart from here. The two tracks converge in the upper right of the photo at a place called Mooar Junction
