What is the purpose of using ballast in model railroading?

Ballast is essential in model railroading as it simulates the rock materials found in real train tracks. It helps to stabilize the track, improve aesthetics, and enhance the realism of your layout or diorama by creating roads, parks, and natural landscapes.

Can I use this ballast for landscaping in my diorama?

Yes, this coarse dark brown ballast is perfect for landscaping in dioramas. It can be used to create realistic roads, driveways, and parks, adding depth and detail to your model scenery.

What size is the Woodland Scenics B85 Ballast bag?

The Woodland Scenics B85 Ballast comes in a 21.6 cu. in. (353 cu. cm) bag, providing ample material for various modeling projects.

Is this ballast suitable for use in outdoor models?

While this ballast is designed for indoor model railroading and dioramas, it can be used in outdoor models if protected from the elements, as it is not specifically formulated for outdoor durability.

How do I choose the right type of ballast for my model train setup?

To choose the right type of ballast, refer to the Woodland Scenics ballast scale reference chart, which can guide you in selecting the appropriate color and grade—fine, medium, coarse, or blended—based on your specific modeling needs.
