Woodland Scenics Gray Blend Ballast
Woodland Scenics Gray Blend Ballast is realistic model railroad track ballast designed to replicate the natural variation of mixed stone found along real railroad lines. Combining multiple gray tones, this ballast creates a more organic, weathered appearance that adds depth and realism to model railroad layouts and scenic dioramas.
