I was wondering if anyone knows what the woodland scenics grey blend is a mix of. I have heard that it is a mix of their light grey and their grey. If so does anyone know what the ratio of light grey to grey is. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I believe it is light and medium grey and suspect its 50/50.
ENJOY !

Thank you. That is what I originally thought, just checking to get a few opinions. Well, time to go mix some ballast.
The batches change over time so bags from today do not always match bags from 10 years ago etc.
I buy those sand tubes from Walmart, then, after running a magnet through it (you'd be surprised at how much metal is in it), I mix it with Woodland Scenics ballast. I believe the WS ballast is made up of ground nut shells. The sand gives it a nice blend of color, and also helps hold it in place when gluing.
