Using Model Railway Nomenclature, Applications for Fine Graded Light Grey Stone Analogue Include:
Real life examples rounded to nearest actual quarried sizes.
Z Scale (1:220): Real life 20 to 75mm crushed limestone and granite - A construction size generally reserved for bulk fill hidden under buildings or within rail and road embankments. Realistic small scree at the base of rock slopes.
N Scale (1:148): Real life 15-50mm crushed granite
Railway Board Standard 1246 Aggregates for Rail Ballast, specifies hard, clean and durable stone free of weathered particles, organic matter and inorganic residues - just like our crushed stone analogue only in N Gauge miniature !
Whilst our crushed fine stone analogue makes for perfect N Gauge track support, it can also be used for wagon fill and p way stockpiles. Hundreds of thousands of tonnes of ballast were and continue to be transported each year by rail from quarries for use by permanent way maintenance crews.
TT Scale (1:120): Real life 12-40mm fragmented concrete - Urban Apocalypse. A perfect fine mid grey background for realistic game scaping.
OO/HO Scale (1:76): Real Life 8-25mm crushed granite / limestone concrete aggregate.
In the real world the largest single application for aggregates. Our crushed stone analoge can be bound with cement, but does not provide for great strength in thin sections. Try epoxy or polyurethane resins or PVA glue to increase strength, or use as a dust free filler/extender in Jesmonite®.
O Scale (1:43): 4-15mm crushed stone - An ideal fine textured modelling background for film and image sets and gaming badland scenics.
G Scale (1:22): 2-8mm crushed stone A specialist size generally used for resin bonded applications in real life but our fine granite analogue provides for a superb fine textured background for film, image sets, museum and architectural dioramas.
Colour & Form:
We take great care to provide accurate images, however, shade variations can occur both with the products themselves and with ambient lighting.
When used for modelling, perceived variance to colour and reflectance can occur due to base materials and adhesives used.
It can be difficult to adequately describe and visualise grain size, we do, however, show products in context with additional images.
