Rio Grande Main-Line Ballast
Rio Grande track crossed dramatic mineral regions. These warm and gray O scale choices work as starting points for Colorado and Utah scenes.
Rio Grande Yards and Sidings
Mix older ballast with dirt, cinders, coal, weeds, and spilled materials for a working railroad appearance.
Rio Grande Scenery Materials
Build Rocky Mountain cuts, canyon walls, rivers, mines, high desert, and narrow-gauge scenery.
O Scale Rock-Size Reminder
For O scale, a rock product ending in 5 is small, 6 is medium and can also work as a boulder, and 7+ creates larger rock. The special 03 ending is Sand & Gravel and can also be used as rip rap.
