I always use a fine grade of ballast, whether I’m modeling in HO or N scale…
I think it comes from my days of modeling in N scale…The smaller the scale, the more of a challenge it becomes to keep things from appearing oversized…So I’ve always tried to err on the side of too small, rather than too large…
I think in HO scale you can get away with some of the larger grades of ballast, but I don’t think I’d use anything larger than a med. Grade, particularly if you’re using some of the finer scale track (code 83 or code 70 rail)
