I use crusher fines or quarrie fines depending on what part of the world you are from and I regard them as ideal for the ballst to lay your track on, absolutely unbeatable. However they have a couple of problems 1) they don,t look very nice and 2) when you get a tropical downpour, they splash grit up and make your rails dirty. So we put a further layer of decorative gravel or small stones and they can look very nice. <br /> <br />50' X 20 " sounds a good size to me but you would not regard it as huge, reasonable though very reasonable, could you advise the length of track, this is important as well. I have 65 m (200') and am in the process of putting that much down again and this is not regarded as big. I know a person who has a a main straight 100 M (110 yards) long and he rides a horse to get around it and I really don't know what joy you can get out of such a thing; it owns you you don't own it. <br /> <br />Rgs Ian
