I have really been looking for a new supplier of real rock ballast since my 2 faves have gone the wayside. I'm now looking at Highball ballast, which has been recommended several times in person and print. Anyone know of a good source as to where to get the stuff?

What about AZ Rock and Mineral?

AZ is no longer making what I want, and he is refusing to do more last I spoke with him. He was my #1 ballast guy along with "Ballast Train" but that guy has gone away ( think medical issues)

I would be curious if you get any reponse from Hunter Scenery.

I just got my order from Smith & Sons. I ordered 3lbs and I tried to pour it in a Scenic Express container that once held 3lbs. of ballast. It didn't fit, so they probably gave me more than 3 lbs. I would order from them again.

Ian MacMillan · « **Reply #12 on:** January 14, 2009, 08:40:40 AM »

Cool!

I'm waiting for mine to come in. I ordered 10lbs and it hopefully should be here in the next few days as they sent it out last week.

None that I know of, but Scenic Express sells it so you can have a look see there.
