Avoid gluing your points up when ballasting the simple way! 

Ballasting using any form of glue can mean that you inadvertently glue the tie rod which makes the point inoperable. You may be able to make it work by using some force and solvents but you are likely to damage the point which then needs replacing. All very frustrating, time consuming and expensive. However, plan ahead and use this simple tip and you should avoid this happening on your layout.
