BALLAST It was so good to read knowledgeable portions on ballasting. But Ballast is in all fields including our life. Ballasting is a base route to keep everything stable and for the ballasting of our life, Vedic concepts were devised. Ships unloading materials started all of it and the materials were found from which the ships threw off , after their unloading work was finished. AND SOME ONE HAS WRITTEN HERE WITHOUT ANY KNOWLEDGE OF BALLAST THAT THERE ARE NO OPTHER MATERIALS TO USE; BUT SOURCE OF MATERIALS VARIED WITGH THE varied structures through out the earth. The route of ballast can be seen from article below:
The origins of the word ballast on railways come from Tyneside. In the definitive guide to railway history, the *Guinness Railway Book* by John Marshall, it’s revealed that ships returning to Newcastle after transporting coal arrived at the port laden with gravel and other materials to maintain stability and this was known as ‘in ballast’. Once docked however this material needed to be disposed of and was the dumped nearby. But it didn’t go to waste and this is where it’s use on railways began. The local tramways, used to transport coal to the ships, needed material to hold the rails in place and for the dumped ‘ballast’ provided the perfect material. Later, it’s use moved from tramway to railways and with it the name. So there you have it. The term ballast as used on model and full size railways, comes from shipping and moved to tramways and then railways. In terms of the material itself, today railway ballast is made from crushed granite to defined size; but originally other substances were used with ash, sand and other stones have all been tried. If you’re building a model railway set before the modern era, check the colours and material used for ballast at the time. An example of such non-grey ballasts on model railways can be seen in the Thirdley (LMS) model railway. *how to ballast model railway track <https://modelrailwayengineer.com/model-railway-ballast-top-how-to-videos/>* Adding ballast to your model railway will make a huge difference to the authenticity of your layout. Unfortunately, it can also take a long time and if done badly play havoc with the smooth running of your trains. This helps blend the ballast with that of the underlying material and adjacent scenery. After applying a *protective layer of varnish <https://modelrailwayengineer.com/should-you-paint-a-baseboard-and-whats-the-best-paint-to-use/>*, I mix up paint to the same colour as the scatter gravel, apply this where the ballast will lay and then gradually mix it to the colour of the neighbouring surface material. Using glue to fix down your track can cause problems and interfere with the running of your trains even before you get to ballasting. Glue might get stuck to the top of the rails or you might dislodge wiring for example. Always make sure your trains run flawlessly before moving on to ballasting, Ballasting can cause enough problems by itself and you don’t want to be troubleshooting both rogue ballast on your points on top of glue and errant wiring. Fix one problem at a time so prove your track work before ballasting. This is touched on in the video’s below but it’s important enough to warrant mentioning first. Cover particularly delicate track areas — points, turntables and the like — with masking tape before working with ballast. They may be tiny to look at but ballast granules are just ideal for getting between rails and springs and causing chaos to your points. There are lots of different ballast modelling materials to match the size of track you model in (medium and fine, N or OO gauge for example) and even different colours to reflect different materials. For N gauge use small/fine ballast; for OO and above, use medium and large. For colour, on modern railways is a grey stone/quartz type material but in the past, other materials have been used, even sand and ash. Use scatter material if you want one of these latter materials for ballast. IF SOMEONE WONDERS BALLAST IS AN ENGLISH PRODUCT, I SAY A BIG NO; IT IS IN YOGA VASISHTA AS SEEN BELOW USED THEN FOR THEIR BOATS. SO IT IS NOT THE WEIGHT AND SHAPE OF SHIPS THAT BALANCED IN WATER, BUT SOMETHING MORE THAN THAT ; THE BALLAST ATLEAST 500-0 YEARS BACK. Verse 3.70.51: Chapter LXX <https://www.wisdomlib.org/hinduism/book/yoga-vasistha-sanskrit/d/doc245898.html> सायःसूची मनःसूच्या वलिता विजहार ह । दिक्ष्वाशेव शिलागुर्वी नावाङ्गपलिता सती ॥ ५१ ॥ *sāya**ḥ**sūcī mana**ḥ**sūcyā valitā vijahāra ha* | *dik**ṣ**vāśeva **śilāgurvī* *nāvā**ṅ**gapalitā satī* || 51 || The iron needle growing old in its business of stitching, was at last lost by itself; like the rotten plank of a boat, bearing the burthensome ballast of stones in it. *SILAGURVI IS THE WORD FOR THE BALLAST; Gurvi means pregnant; knowledge packed is Guru; silagurvi means packed with the stones. Thus Ballast is the hard packing materials in all walks of life to balance the life; off the balance many sink.
