What scale is this ballast for?
Woodland Scenics markets it for all scales. The coarse grade looks best on O, G, and larger layouts, and also works for HO mainline, yard, and industrial track where a slightly larger stone is prototypical.
How do I apply and secure it?
Sprinkle it along your roadbed from the shaker, shape it with a soft brush, wet it with a drop of "wet water," then soak with Scenic Cement or diluted white glue to lock it in place.
How much track will 32 oz cover?
This is the large shaker size and covers a substantial run of track — plenty for a small-to-medium layout's mainline.
Can I mix it with other colors?
Yes. Blending buff with gray, brown, or cinders ballast creates a more realistic, weathered appearance.
