Description
13303 Bag Norfolk Southern / CSX Bright Gray Sand & Gravel, a 75% CSX and 25% Marble blend, ideal for roads, yards, and scenery bases.
Bag size note: Bag size is great for small projects, touch-ups, samples, and testing color before using more material.
The Norfolk Southern / CSX Bright Gray Sand & Gravel is a versatile scenery material that works well across layouts of all scales. Modelers often use it for parking lots, service roads, fill areas, and trackside shoulders where fine ballast or powder would not look correct. Its naturally varied size captures the look of real-world sand and gravel found around railroad facilities. The bright gray tone is ideal for modern Norfolk Southern and CSX territories, where lighter ballast and aggregate dominate. Because it includes both sand and small gravel, this product creates a smooth but realistic texture that blends easily with other scenery materials.
What makes it up rock type colors and looks
This material is a blend of 75% CSX/Southern Pacific/Wabash Gray Ballast (138) and 25% white marble processed into sand and gravel size. The fine sand adds texture and fills gaps, while the small gravel pieces provide realistic variation. The bright gray coloring, highlighted with flecks of white, creates a clean and modern appearance. The mixture is carefully screened for consistency, making it easy to spread and shape in scenery work. It looks natural in industrial zones, yard surfaces, roadway bases, and around trackside structures.
Another thing to buy to go with it
Pair this Sand & Gravel with 1330 Bright Gray Powder to feather edges and create blended ground cover. For consistent ballast across your layout, use 1331 N Scale Bright Gray Ballast or 1332 HO Scale Bright Gray Ballast alongside it. This combination ensures your track and surrounding scenery tie together seamlessly. Matte medium or diluted white glue will secure the material in place for long-lasting durability.
