I use the same, even the same color, I believe. My package says "CSX Southern Pacific Wabash."
If you are tempted to use Woodland Scenics because it's right there on the hobby shop shelf, get one bag of Woodland Scenics and one bag of Arizona Rock & Mineral. Ballast one foot of track with each, right next to each other. The Arizona is real rock, Woodland Scenics is not. The difference becomes quite apparent not only when you are gluing it down and the Woodland Scenics tends to float, but also after the glue dries. I think they look quite different, and you can choose which you prefer. -Michael Eldridge --- In [email protected], Richard Karnes <rnk2...@...> wrote: > I use ballast from Arizona Rock & Mineral (http://www.rrscenery.com/AZROCK5.html, phone [928] 636-9275). They have a bewildering variety of colors and textures. While nominally HO scale, I find that their mainline ballast is perfect for S. I use "CSX," a very light grey ballast with some flecks of black here and there. For yards and spurs, I use black cinder ballast. This has some flecks of copper-colored grit in it. I also have a bag of their "ash"-- a very fine light grey. > ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
