When I did scenic work with OO stuff I use to 'borrow' a pair of tights from my other half and then cover the hoover nozzle with these to go over newly ballasted areas. This reduced the suction power of the hoover and allowed me to collect surplus material to reuse.

You need to beg, borrow or steal a Dyson, if you haven't got one........ Perfect for recovering unstuck scenic material!

I am aware of the tights trick but at the time it had escaped me... Anyways I can easily get more of that material... There's a whole waste pile of it at work... Sand just don't work when its got damp in a sand box...

Or I may go a bit unorthodox and use coal dust to fill in the gaps... Plenty of railways have been laid on ash and clinker...

Terrible for letting these things slip...

But then I won't be posting updates and you'll have to wait and see it in the coal, sand, wood, metal, plastic and rock at Peterborough!

So the three modules went to Peterborough and came away with a MOTY Class winning trophy...

Unfortunately I didn't get chance to take photos but I did manage to run a train over them... Very satisfying feeling...

Their next outing will be the Giant Miniature Gala at Statfold Barn before the G scale show at Stafford.
