Hi Dwayne, Try's Arizona Rock & Mineral Co. (P. O. Box 567, Paulden, AZ 86334, 920-636-9275; fax: 928-636-9134) and Highball Products (available from Walthers at www.walthers.com). Western Alberta is likely to have basalt or granite in the ballast rather than limestone, so a medium gray, light gray mix would be appropriate, with perhaps something of a dark brown, too. Most ballast in the West is about the size of your fist, and to my eyes medium N scale ballast looks better in HO. You might contact the Canadian National Lines Special Interest Group (101 Elm Park Rd., Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada R2M 0W3; they're on the Web too, and you can access it from this page under Historical Societies to your left) and ask if someone there can provide more information as to color and material. Hope this helps, Paul Schmidt Associate Editor MODEL RAILROADER
