@gunrunnerjohn posted:Have you considered roofing granules? You can buy buckets it from many big box stores, it's tons cheaper than buying little bottles of ballast. I comes in various grits and all sorts of colors.
The gravel is about $4.00 a jar. Reasonable enough for my little layout. Now...if I was ballasting your layout, I'd look for quantity for sure.
The larger ballast I'm using is a $1/ lb bag. Can't do much better than that IMHO.
Thanks
