Hey, I'm brand new, this is my first post and first forum! I was reviewing the other posts and couldn't seem to find much on railroad bedding. I am finishing up an all digital LGB MTS layout in my backyard that's about 50 ft. x 20ft (it's huge[8D]). The rails lie on 4x4s that have been staked to the ground. I'm not sure what kind of rock i should use for a bedding material but i'm leaning towards slate (on looks only). I was wondering if anyone knows of a company or website I could visit to purchase large amounts of bedding material to give the track a more realistic appearence but because of the scale of my layout i'm having a hard time finding the volume of material I need. I'd say i'm looking for a few hundred pounds of this stuff. It crossed my mind that i may be better off beatting the crap out of large pieces of stone i can get at the local stone yard, but that would take a lot of time and labor. Another thing I've noticed and is quite surprising it the lack of LGB MTS retailers in Los Angeles. Which means I have to order 80% of my parts!- that's two week wait! ([B)]) I've heard some people metion that it's because only 3% of model railraoders are running full digital layouts. Does anyone know of any retailers around the country that carry large quantities of MTS parts (modules and decoders) in stock? Thanks for your time and help, Mike
