ARM Ballast — Shop by Scene
Choose the Scene You Want to Build
Start with the finished place in mind. Each scene guide combines natural soil, sand, gravel, rock, pigment, coal, paving, or specialty materials that work together across N, HO, O, and G Scale layouts.

A Simple Way to Shop
Scene pages organize products by what they do in the finished landscape, while the Scenery section remains available when you already know the material type.
1. Choose the Environment
Begin with desert, mountain, river, yard, industry, or town and rural ground.
2. Layer the Materials
Build from fine earth to aggregate, larger texture, and final blending color.
3. Check Size and Type
Use the Scenery guides when you need a specific rock grade, rip rap, pigment, or material family.
Choose the broad environment first
A scene may use products from several categories. That is intentional: real ground changes gradually between soil, gravel, rock, paved surfaces, drainage, and industry.
Layer fine material before large texture
Start with broad earth and powder, place sand and gravel through working paths and drainage, add rock or specialty material where the scene calls for it, and finish with a light blending layer.
