Most every prototype Railroad used black cinder in the
yard and/or engine service area. Our cinder is volcanic and is slightly

could be used as ballast. It has no prototype use, however it works very
well for a free lance model in a western setting. The track is Atlas Code
100 and the ties have been rounded out and stained with driftwood to give
them age. |
