Description
A 7-ounce bag of Woodland Scenics fine grade ballast in Iron Ore - scale-accurate granular material for simulating the crushed stone or cinder track bed found on real railroads. The fine grain size is calibrated to look realistic at smaller scales including N, Z, and HO, where coarser material would appear oversized. It is especially useful for simulating ballast around ore-loading facilities, iron mine branch lines, or adding warm mineral color to a mixed ballast area.
The material is non-magnetic and can be applied using white glue diluted with water and a drop of dish soap to reduce surface tension. A scale reference chart is printed on the package to help confirm visual correctness for your layout's scale. Iron ore ballast has a distinctive reddish-brown mineral tone that suggests the iron-rich crusher run used in ore-loading areas and some prototype western railroads.
Use this ballast to line your trackwork, fill a prototype-style ballast section, load a gondola or hopper car, fill a gravel bin, or add material detail to a road or industrial site. Woodland Scenics ballast is compatible with all track brands and can be blended with other colors for a custom-mixed appearance.
