Real Stone for Realistic Results
Our ballast and scenery materials are made from real crushed stone. Natural rock provides realistic color variation, texture, and weight that help model railroad track look more believable.
Sized for Your Scale
We offer ballast sized for N, HO, O, and G scale layouts. Using the correct stone size helps the material fit naturally around the ties, rails, switches, and trackside scenery.
Materials for Every Track Scene
Whether you are building a clean main line, an older yard, a siding, or a heavily used industrial area, we offer materials that can be mixed and weathered to match the scene.
Our products can be combined with:
- Yard Mix
- Black cinders
- Industrial dirt
- Coal
- Pigments
- Weeds and fine debris

Choosing ballast can be confusing. We provide guides to help customers select the right color, scale, quantity, and scenery materials for their layout.
