Help matching CSAO ballast color
#4
One trick I used years ago on another layout was to find a road that had been spread with slag or limestone and on the curves there would be a mix of small "stone" and dust. I gathered that up and washed it and sifted it to make ballast. I don't know if that opportunity presents itself to you in the UK. We have splatter screens that are used over skillets to keep grease from splashing that I find are just the right size for HO ballast.

I will take a look at some of my slides to see if any show the difference in the ballast on the Kiski.
