When I screen the crusher fines I wrote about, I use a two stage screening process to obtain the scale size I want. I first used a piece of wire screen to eliminate the smaller pieces of material (the pure dust) into one bucket <br />and then used a second piece of larger wire screen to seperate the pieces I want (the actual track ballast) into a second bucket. All the leftover big chunks of rock are saved for reinforceing the sides of high fills where big chunks of rock are necessary to keep the track from washing away or sinking down. So basically, it goes : dust, track, ballast, chunks on the downward slopes. This is the way that railroads keep their trackwork from washing away,(I imagine you probably know that already). Without machines this method is pretty time consuming, so like I said, I'm planning on building a screening facility. I don't think the machine will really be hard to build, if they accept it I would like to publish free plans for it in Garden Railways. MJC.
