Track ballast (usually crushed stone), as it is known, is another important part of railroad infrastructure. Although it may just look like plain ole gravel this stone plays a vital role in acting as a support base for the railroad ties and rails as well as allowing for proper drainage of water away from the rails (which is why the stone is always sloped downward and away from track).

This equates to roughly 2-3 inches and 1-1.5 inches scale size. I know it's a matter of opinion but again to me the Fine grade just looks wrong.

Method 1: Scatter. Just like the ballast this need to be coated with a 50%PVA and water mix (with a drop of washing up liquid). Unlike the ballast I would recommend gluing the scatter down first, then adding the glue and water mixture after. This is because the scatter is much lighter than the ballast and will move when you add the mixture.
