Woodland Scenics Fine Ballast/Iron Ore B70

Woodland Scenics Fine Ballast Iron Ore is a realistic railroad scenery material designed to replicate the distinctive reddish-brown appearance of iron-rich aggregate, mining byproducts, and ore-based ballast commonly found along mining railroads, steel mill trackage, industrial spurs, and heavy manufacturing facilities. Its fine texture makes it ideal for smaller-scale modeling and highly detailed railroad scenes where realistic ballast appearance is essential.

The rich Iron Ore coloration accurately captures the look of mineral-rich track ballast used throughout mining regions and industrial rail networks. The fine grade provides excellent scale realism for N Scale and HO Scale layouts while also serving as an outstanding scenery material for industrial yards, loading facilities, ore stockpiles, quarry operations, and maintenance areas.

Beyond railroad applications, Fine Ballast Iron Ore can be used to model gravel roads, work sites, industrial pathways, mining operations, and terrain features requiring realistic earth-tone aggregate. Blend it with other Woodland Scenics ballast colors and grades to create natural variation and custom weathering effects throughout your layout.

For best results, apply over Track-Bed™ and secure with Scenic Cement™. Woodland Scenics Fine Ballast Iron Ore pairs naturally with ballast materials, coal products, terrain and landscape materials, and other Woodland Scenics scenery products.
