About product

A large grain in a neutral gray

In a coarse grade, gray behaves differently than it does in a fine one. It stops being a surface and becomes a heap of stones on which every edge is visible. That is precisely why builders in the large scales choose it even where on a small layout they would reach for a finer material.

It will find a use not only under the rails. Scree below a rock face, a firmed-up bank of a pond, a quarry spoil heap or stone hauled to a dam under construction look considerably more convincing with large grains.

The properties of the package

  • A neutral gray shade, identical with the finer version of the same color
  • The coarsest grade offered, the grains clear to the naked eye
  • A volume of 945 cm³, a sieve integrated in the lid of the shaker
  • Suitable for garden as well as indoor layouts of larger dimensions
  • Usable for making scree, spoil heaps and firmed-up banks

When laying it, help yourself with a spoon and a flat brush. Coarse grains cannot be spread with a finger as easily as powder, but on the other hand they hold the shape you give them and do not slide back into a plane.

Carry out the soaking patiently. Water with dish soap has to pass right to the bottom of the layer, as otherwise the glue catches only at the top and the bottom stays loose. That is easy to tell: once it is dry, press with a fingernail and the layer either holds as a whole or cracks.

Anyone who wants to achieve the impression of a really old line can scatter a pinch of finer material onto the finished ballast and rub it lightly in between the large grains. It looks like silt that the wind has carried here over the years.

FAQ

No scale is given for it. In practice a coarse grade is chosen for larger layouts and garden railroads, where fine material would disappear.

The package takes 945 cm³ of loose material.

Once it is dry, press with a fingernail. A properly soaked layer holds as a whole, while a badly soaked one cracks and is loose under the surface.

Yes, a pinch of fine stone rubbed in between the large grains creates the impression of silt laid down over the years.
