Anyone know of a good source of Smith & Son ballast other than Scenic Express? I'm looking for Limestone in N scale size and it seems that Scenic Express is only carrying their rip-rap and hi-railer sized ballast now.

Ian,

Jim Elster sent me the ballast (well, I paid him for it, but talked to him about the order) he knew it was for a book project so I needed something that he had some expectation of being available.

Sometimes not everything Scenic Express has appears on the web site - call and ask for the item if you haven't already.

AR&M would be a good substitute.

Marty


Marty,
Thanks I'll call them direct. Was it the #50 that you're using or to you know product # off the top of your head.

Penn-Ohio Blend, #50 grade is what the label reads.

Marty

Thanks Marty, you rule.

I just got an e-mail back from Dale. They do sell direct. The ballast is $2.00 a pound plus shipping.
