What Mix Of Tiles and Plates For Basic Ballast

[ejayb]

Eventually I would like to properly ballast my layout, with ballast plates for the curves and switches, but for now I want to do the minimum to pin it down to baseplates. 

I can find plenty of discussion about custom ballasting and reviews of the ballast plates, but nothing about what's needed to go under them.

Straights are fairly similar, but for the curves, should I be ordering 1x2 tiles, 2x2, 1x1?

Thanks Dtomsen

I did see L-gague's instructions, but as they are for brick built ballast, I wondered if their base layer was overkill. 

I placed an order for 1x2s and 2x2s and I'll see how I get on
