My own stretch of outdoor railroad is floating on scale ballast from a local rock quarry. I took crusher fines and screened them until they were the correct size for 1:29. I am going to build a motorized screener facility to churn out lots of this stuff (it's too time consuming otherwise!). This should provide an interesting industry for loads to originate from. The leftover dust is used as sub-ballast. This results in the most satisfying trackwork I have been able to construct. If the track moves, just scoot it back. The only maintainence necessary is occationally adding more ballast. I'm also building a ballast profile machine for upkeep.
