Kato Ballast

[Bfagan]

Can anyone tell me how to make Kato ballast as the Kato bags are really expensive.

Great article... To me, that 1:1:9 ratio looks better than 1:1:5
Both ratios look better than Kato's ballast..

To me.. the black overpowers the white a bit.. (you may consider a 1:3:9 (B:W:G) ratio...)

You could stand to bump up the Gray even more too.

At one time Kato actually had Woodland Scenics blend and package a matching ballast.   Don’t know when or why they stopped using WS.

Maybe they didn't like walnut shells...

Cheerio!

This is what I do and I'm very pleased.
