Norfolk Southern Main-Line Ballast
Norfolk Southern uses several ballast colors across inherited routes. These Louisville, white-marble, and bright-gray choices offer useful G scale starting points.
Norfolk Southern Yards and Sidings
Mix older ballast with dirt, cinders, coal, weeds, and spilled materials for a working railroad appearance.
Norfolk Southern Scenery Materials
Build Appalachian grades, coal country, Piedmont industry, forests, river valleys, and modern terminals.
G Scale Rock-Size Reminder
For G scale, a rock product ending in 6 is small, 7 is medium and can also work as a boulder, and 8+ creates larger rock. The special 03 ending is Sand & Gravel and can also be used as rip rap.
