went to the store today and in the reduced section aisles was an 8Lb bag of walnut litter.by golly it was $3.00 reduced from $5.47.going to go over to the layout room in a minute to compare the sizes of the bits but just by looking at it i think it is much smaller than the ho scale ballast im using from w/scenics.having been in the pet isles many times before i have never seen this item until today.they still have two bags of it in our local w/mart.eight pounds will sure go a long way though.terry…
Wow. Please let us know the size comparisons. That is some very cheap ballast!
doggone it…im using medium sized ho scale ballast and it’s a little bigger than that but not much,probably a tad to big for ho scale imo.however i’ll find a use for it somewhere on the layout.any suggestions anyone?terry…
I’ve heard stories of that organic stuff breaking down and rotting. (attracting bugs too)
well possibily.all it is is crushed walnut shells.beleive w/s ballast is crushed shells also.i could be wrong though.no bugs to worry about[;)] terry…
