The most I could find out is that that the track is hand laid code 70 in the visible areas. <br /> <br />He may have used real stone ballast.

Fits on a 5gal bucket. $23 <br />See the [url="http://www.ballast-train.com/forms/scales-imperial.html"]<b><u>Sieve chart</u></b>[/url] for scale rock sizes. The larger the number, the finer the stone. #30 yealds 1.75" rock in HO scale. <br /> Start with regular window screen and work your way down.
