Michael , it is woodland scenic (#B1394 ) medium gray blend . It seems to darken just a tiny bit with the glue , but I think it is still going to need a black/brown wash or something .
Yes that looks good Michael . What made you decide to change ballasts? Did you have problems with the WS?
No ballast at all yet on my layout, I want to very much but am still a ways from putting it down and have not decided on who has the 'best' ballast to use.
Y'all got me leaning towards a 'real rock' type of ballast. To my mind using 'real' rock where THEY use 'real' rock will help the overall 'look' blend together better. I'll be trying to use 'actual' material as much as possible, 'real' dirt where there is dirt and 'real' stone where there should be stone. Some will have to be 'fudged' but that is unavoidable.
Hey Michael.
Nice picture
I've never had problems with WS
Is it possible that you forgot an ingredient in your glue/water mix?
I use 50/50 and add a tea spoon of dish detergent
No need for pre-soak nor does the rocks float
