Arizona Rock and Mineral 1254 - Pink Lady (12 Oz Bag) - G Scale

Chicago & Northwestern Pink Granite G Scale Ballast

1254 Bag Chicago & Northwestern Pink Granite G Scale Ballast adds a natural pink granite color to G scale model railroad track. Use it for main lines, yards, sidings, garden railroads, outdoor scenes, industrial track, and trackside scenery.

This ballast has a larger rock size that works well for G scale layouts. It gives the track a strong, heavy texture that fits larger scale railroad scenes. The pink granite color also adds a different look from common gray, tan, or black ballast.

Uses for Chicago & Northwestern Pink Granite G Scale Ballast

Use Chicago & Northwestern Pink Granite G Scale Ballast along G scale track, garden railroad areas, yards, sidings, industrial spurs, station areas, and outdoor scenery scenes. It works well where you want the ballast to show clear rock detail.

This material can help add color, depth, and texture to your railroad. Use it by itself for a clean pink granite ballast look. You can also blend it with dirt, cinders, sand, or scenery rock to create a more natural and weathered scene.

How to Apply G Scale Ballast

Apply the ballast dry first. Spread it with a scoop, spoon, brush, or ballast tool. Shape the ballast shoulders and clear the tops of the ties before adding glue.

Mist the area lightly with water. Then apply scenery glue or diluted matte medium. Let it dry fully before running trains.

For outdoor garden railroads, check the ballast after rain, watering, or track cleaning. Add more material where the scene needs extra coverage or texture.
