Building a G Scale LGB layout in a Berkshire garden

[jayiscupid]

Hi! I'm a newly joined member who's been gifted a sizeable amount of LGB track from a friend. I've bitten the bullet this weekend and started construction on a continuous loop LGB layout with a station based around the Harzer Schmalspurbahnen. I'd welcome any advice on where to buy the best ballast for LGB track (laid on the ground in a shallow trench ontop of weed control fabric).

Hullo and welcome to the forum.

I've used horticultural grit, about 1-3 mm and sharp angular chips. Don't use pea gravel as the round stones don't lock together.

I brought some on line from Yorkshire and they were delivered in a half tonne bag to me in Cambridgeshire....
