New York Central Main-Line Ballast
New York Central routes ranged from high-speed main lines to older industrial branches. These neutral gray and regional choices provide flexible O scale starting points.
New York Central Yards and Sidings
Mix older ballast with dirt, cinders, coal, weeds, and spilled materials for a working railroad appearance.
New York Central Scenery Materials
Build river corridors, Great Lakes industry, cities, farms, terminals, and trackside warehouses.
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.
