I stumbled across this the other day. While installing a submersible pump in a well I got to thinking that the granular ledge that the well driller pulls out of the well during the drilling process would make perfect ballast. Wa***he stuff, sift to your desired size and you have all the rock ballast you would ever need. It is grey in color and I think it would be ideal for you do it yourselfers. A friend has the same kind of ballast on his layout and it looks sharp. He got his at a rock crusher and sifted it down to ho scale. Same process, very obtainable in the country where people are on their own wells. <br /> <br />Kirk
