A really well scaled blend that accurately reflects prototype size and is eminently suitable for 4mm scale (OO) or HO modelling.
The Grey mix colour has been chosen based on field research and does include a small addition of lighter and darker stones as granite ballast often includes more crystalline or darker impurities. It is suitable for newer ballast, lightly used modern or new Steam Era lines in some areas.
The “Club Tub” is a real value pack for clubs or team-build layouts – even those with larger layouts who want total consistency in their ballast supply or really good value!
Use in combination with other Legacy Ballast for transitional areas and weather with powders or paint as appropriate for realism.
This carefully processed Ballast should not change tone when glue is applied using a suitable mix and wetting agent.

DCC Concepts 5 litre Club Tub of OO/HO scale ballast in a grey blend is supplied under the manufacturer part number LB-4LG-CT.
The mix is designed to accurately represent prototype ballast and is suitable for 4 mm scale (OO) or HO modelling. The colour has been selected from field research and includes a small proportion of lighter and darker stones to reflect the natural variation found in granite ballast. It is appropriate for newer ballast, lightly used modern lines or new Steam Era tracks in certain areas.
The “Club Tub” format provides a bulk quantity that offers good value for clubs, team‑build layouts or larger layouts that require consistent ballast across the entire track.
For transitional sections the product can be combined with other legacy ballast, and additional weathering can be achieved with powders or paint as required. The ballast is processed to maintain its tone when a suitable adhesive and wetting agent are applied.
