Saw the ballast tamping traincar and was reminded of this: The ballast washing *train*. It pulls up the rails and picks up the ballast, sieves and seperates broken pieces and dust to discard, and then replaces the ballast and the tracks, all while driving. Saw it on a kid's TV show here in Germany. youtu.be/2kWrST-Vy1M

Portable with ballast on tracks?
So im working on a side project along with my main table. Id like to make a pair of 4x8 tables to take out to local train shows and display. If I roadbed and ballst the tracks what would be the best way to make everything between the tables seperate but not look strange where the track break is? Would the ballast stay down if the track was removed? Im kinda stumped
Can we use limestone rock as track ballast?
Hi,
Are there any specs that approve the use of limestone rock as track ballast?
We are biding on the construction of a railroad, and in the specs, they request to use ballast rock, but in the area we only have limestone.
This is my first LEGO MILS module! I'm building a winter village diorama. The db-gray and red tiles are part of a track ballast. It will make more sens when there will be several modules connected.
Finally competed the raised viaduct 4449 mainline. I love it.. its loud mind you.. now I can add ballast to blend in the track permanently on the bass.. v.redd.it/yqhoe25ip7f51
Sometimes being a Stud doesn’t pay of, especially in Stud City🌃🌇📸🔥 ft Maersk and my newly ballast track
This scene is really coming together, love making these clips of my trains running through it. This time an NW2 pulls a short train over fresh ballast. Added some details between the road and track to give it a less sanitary look too. v.redd.it/wh79g5vhl3g51
This Ballast Tamper used for lifting train tracks and tamping down the gravel is pretty specialized youtu.be/YPt4ijPFzc8?t=31…
Evidence of what used to be a 3rd track at Susteren station. As you can see the ballast is still there and the catanary masts are a lot wider than the platform.
Flying Scotsman my grandfather passed down to me. He made a little enclosed track with ballast. He’s alive and well but I thought to show you guys.
Ballasted some of my EZ- Track. I only ballast the outsides, and I colored both the track and ballast with acrylic washes.
Trees line the overgrown remains of the Pittsburgh-Washington interurban trolley line, Upper Saint Clair/Peters Township. Trolley service past Drake Loop ended in 1953. Tracks are long gone but some rock ballast is still there.
Found a spot on a railroad with some seprentine track ballast. Not very much but close to home (Moscow, Russia)

I cannot find a complete railway system so I recreate the rail from the marked one on the picture (I really like it with Track ballast). Gonna update it after I add more railway slots.
And time to add the ballast after connecting the track more ‘permanently’. Zip ties for the LGB track, and....can I say I hate Aristo Craft track - thank goodness for magnets...tiny little hex screws for the Aristo Craft track.
Picked up a sabot which someone had closed in the knifeboard (proper name?). I was hoping to turn it into a small rowboat for fishing in bathtub lakes. The problem is with no keel or ballast it won't track straight and is tippy as hell.
The ancient city of Harappa was heavily damaged under British rule, when bricks from the ruins were used as track ballast in the construction of the Lahore–Multan Railway. The bricks discovered were made of red sand, clay, stones and were baked at very high temperature.
Found among track ballast in Illinois, seen a lot of ones with these hybrid colors

Got a new building for my small track and put down some ballast like in the iron range up in MN, it might be a little dark for that ballast, but it's as close as I could get here
After hours and hours of hauling green army men around and switching making sure track work is perfect or near perfect its time!! Ground base is paver tile sand grout! It matches the areas I model!! Ballast is oil dry that is strained twice through window screen/then window screen folded in half
I painted the walkway, concrete brick and added more paint to the wall. When the white foam is covered with ballast over the track it should all blend together.

Started building my garden railroad. Track was free, came from a family friend years ago when he tore out his railroad. Ballast is crushed rock from a local quarry, all other rock is scavenged from rockfall along the local highways. Lots to do, and much more investment$ needed to cross the footpath.
