The True to Scale difference:
Authentic Realism
Manufactured to BSEN 13450 Aggregates for Rail Ballast. Principally being hard, clean and durable stone crushed and graded to 30-50mm. Stone is designated to be free of weathered particles, organic matter and inorganic residues. The shape needs to be cubical as far as is possible to allow for maximum drainage.
Whilst our ballast makes for perfectly scaled track support, don't forget it can also be used for wagon fill. Hundreds of thousands of tonnes of ballast were and continue to be transported each year by rail from quarries for use by permanent way maintenance crews.
