A really well scaled blend that accurately reflects prototype size. 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.
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 OO/HO scale Ballast – Grey Blend is a model railway ballast designed to match prototype dimensions. The product, identified by the manufacturer part number LB-4LG, combines a grey colour chosen from field research with a small proportion of lighter and darker stones to replicate the crystalline and impurity variations found in granite ballast.
The blend is suitable for newer ballast, lightly used modern lines or new Steam Era layouts in appropriate sections. It can be mixed with other Legacy Ballast for transitional zones and, if required, painted or powdered to enhance realism.
The material has been processed to retain its colour when a suitable glue, mix and wetting agent are applied.
