Curious Question... I was sitting here, thinking about the San Diego Model Railroad Museum, and how much track they have... and thinking of my own problems because I let my layout sit for a year...

How are museums around the country (and around the world) dealing with track maintenance during "Social Distancing" while all of the museums are closed?

Are these museums able to get a small skeleton crew in to keep everything clean while the museums are closed?

I'm currently in the process of building a layout loosely based on the INT Roaring Fork Sub featured on Appalachian Model Railroading. I've included the track plan for reference:

My question is: How do I transition the spline road bed between levels? The "no-lix" design moves from one level to the next at Point C on the right side of the plan.

I just finished ballasting the first section on my logging railroad. After looking at countless books on some of my favourite logging companies in the PNW, I realized that most track ballast was pretty close to dirt with the occasional rock thrown in. The secret became not being overly neat and make it feel almost seamless between the track ballast and the surrounding area. The "mainline" is the centre track so I gave it some more rocks to help make it feel different.
