<p>[quote user="richhotrain"]</p> <p> </p> <div class="quote-header"> </div> <blockquote class="quote"> <div class="quote-user">BMMECNYC</div> <div class="quote-content"> <p>I would suggest using scenic express ballast over the WS, due to the WS having a tendency to float. I would do between the rails first, then outside of the rails. </p> <p> </p> </div> </blockquote> <div class="quote-footer"> </div> <p> </p> <p>I did use Scenic Express ballast, a 50/50 blend of light gray and dark gray, on my double mainline. I do prefer Scenic Express over Woodland Scenics, but I decided to go with Woodland Scenics Fine Dark Brown Ballast for the yards because there wasn't much color to choose from with Scenic Express, mostly shades of gray.</p> <p> </p> <p>Rich</p> <div style="clear:both;"> </div> <p>[/quote]</p> <p>Check Arizona Rock and Mineral as well. They have many different ballast colors, and its also real rock. The Scenic Express Dirt turns a darker brown when you use Isopropyl Alcohol and diluted white glue.</p>
