about half of the damage to ballast comes from track maintenance work, a quarter from traffic, and the remainder from atmospheric action or material spillage. initial results from stoneblower suggest that the reduction in ballast damage is sufficient to cut the total by 50% in effect doubling ballast life.

· this is the view topic advanced forum page. long story short. i use ballast from a company in tukwila, washington called manufacturers minerals. the ballast i use is not #4 dust (or 1/4" minus) but a clean washed rock that they call "bridge topping". a few other local railroaders use the same stuff (paul burch & dave goodson come to mind).

a premier blend of our natural aggregate #16 ballast! great for 3 rail applications (gar graves, super o and o/27 gauge)! coverage is approximately 35 linear feet of track per 1/2 gallon (approx. 6lbs.). blend may vary in color consisency so we recommend buying your ballast at one time! out of stock
· ballasted rail tracks are generally exposed to impact loads generated from abnormal wheel rail interface as well as sudden variations in support rigidity. these induced impact loads can lead to railway ballast degradation by attrition of the angular edges of the aggregate and breakage of single particle into finer fragments.
· the term "code" simply means the rail height expressed in thouhs of an inch. for example, code 83 rail has gained popularity in ho scale because it looks more in proportion to the trains than code 100 rail, which was widely used in ho scale for many years and is still common today.
