All,
I will be ordering some ballast for the Lackham Museum and Woodland
Railway tomorrow (7.25", heavy duty rail). My source is a local quarry
who have offered to me on very generous terms.
I have been offered some 10mm ballast (that's the true scale size), but
it seems a little small. I can get larger if I ask.
The bed will be 4" deep 8" wide and lines with a permeable membrane.
When the track is laid a further 2" depth will be placed around the
sleepers to hold the track in position.
So, is 10mm too small? What size have others used on their railway?
Regards
Peter
