    Hey all,
    Just wanted to see if anybody had the proper ratio for making SP ballast I'm modeling California 1950's I need tons of it. Were talking a dual mainline thats 24 feet in length by anout 20 feet width. Would love if somebody could point me in the right direction for yard look as well. Thanks in advance!

    No idea on ratio.......but tons? I have 1500 feet of line outdoors, all weather, and I only have 1500 pounds (3/4 ton) used in 21 years.
    Hope you have good benchwork and foundation footings.....

    LOL! By tons I mean a rather large amount. Ratio meaning color mixture to get the proper ballast color.

    You may want to take a look at Arizona Rock and Mineral Company's line of ballast.
