I really cheated on this. I pulled up all the track so I could put under the track magnetic un couplers and add the new turn out. Since it was all empty I got some RUST-OLEM spray on Stone paint, gray and white. Kind of free handed it till I got the look I wanted. Did the same on all the new track I laid. Expensive but easy and I'll take that over less expensive and hard any day.

I'll dress it up later with some regular ballast. It's pretty neat because it is really rugged and will take some rough handling and has a fine smooth texture.

I just wish they made the Stone in a brown tone.
