Med Gray Ballast (WOOB1382)

The Medium Gray Ballast Shaker is a premium ballast material designed for model railroading, created to reproduce realistic track beds and help hold ties in place. This gray ballast adds authentic texture to the rail line and can also be used to model gravel roads. The shaker contains 50 cubic inches of material, and the color blends easily with many layouts. It can be mixed with other ballast colors for a natural look and is commonly fixed in place with Scenic Cement.

The shaker design makes it easy to apply an even layer along the tracks, and the ballast stays put when secured with Scenic Cement. A scale reference chart is included to guide ballast sizing across scales—from Z to G—covering Fine, Medium, and Coarse options, helping to ensure the ballast look matches the layout’s scale.
