I have been told that having the right size ballast makes all the difference, as I have S scale ballast on my layout real rock from Classic Trains in CA.
That was from the editor of CTT. I have spent 1000s on my layout so I am not going to cheapen the look of my track. I would get some of the ballast you are looking at and some S scale ballast to compare how it looks, before making a decision. Do not let the cost of this be a determing factor. I see this allot in all layouts. It is a one time cost and the ballast will last for ever. What makes one happy with something might not work for someone else. Just a opinion and thought, before making a final decision.

It's made of real rock and comes in many shades and grades. I don't let the "HO scale" designation bother me -- I use HO mainline-grade ballast on my mainline, and cinders in my yards and on my spurs. I bought 50 pounds, then had to order another 25 pounds to finish up. Dick Karnes [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
