Sean Moore's video: Track work in Pierson Yard on the Val Valley MRR

Some track realignment in Pierson yard involves replacing two (2x) switches that have been previously soldered and blasted in place. We will demonstrate how to: * Remove switches that have been soldered and ballasted in place. * Clean up the roadbed with out destroying it. * Prepare switches for trouble free operation. * Reinstall the switches and lead tracks. * Clean weathered rail ends for soldering. * Solder and unsolder joints. * Talk about cutting sections of track (measure 2x and cut 3x times). * Weathering track. * Spreading ballast. * Gluing Ballast and scenery. Let me apologize as this is a long video. But it has a lot of good information about replacing track and even laying track and ballasting it right the first time. I think you will find this video to be vary informative.
