I am in the process of laying down ballast. I made up a length track , approx 18" long on a piece of scrape wood and made up different batches of ballast colors, and wrote down how much of different color ballast used to make up sample. If you donot like what it looks like, not use it on the layout. This saves time and redo till come up of what you want for mainline and the sidings and spurs, and also helps to fine tune ballast laying technique. <br />I' am doing the same thing for dirt and soil for my yard. I'll do it for grass and weeds for my sidings. <br />
