Track Ballast for Model Rail in different grades and colours to suit different layouts and gauges & scales. Also available in Glue Kits.
 
In the real world, railway ballast is typically made of crushed gravel and other aggregates. The purpose of railway ballast is to absorb and distribute the weight of the train and other forces created by the cars moving over the track. Ballast is also important for dispersing water so that it does not impede train operations.
 
WWScenics’ model railway ballast is available in a variety of colours and chip sizes from fine to medium and large. Once you decide which size and colour ballast material is right for your project you will need to make sure you use the best possible adhesive. Many of our ballast packages come bundled with War World Scenics professional-grade Track Ballast Glue that will ensure your model track ballast stays put without looking like it’s glued down.
 

Considerations When Applying Track Ballast Glue

• Once model railroad ballast has been glued down it will be virtually impossible to remove, as such ensure everything about your track plan is as it should be before applying any adhesive.
• While you can spray paint the ballast after it’s in place, it’s always better to use the correct colour to begin with.
• If you need to rectify and dry soldered joints on your track you should do so before gluing down the model ballast.
