The AR&M products are simply first rate.They lay down extremely well 
and the grains stay in place and very level during the wetting and 
cementing process. I have used a lot of their "N" gauge ballast, both 
their 'SP Cinders', and their' GN (BN) Empire Builder'. The former 
has slight color variations that can bring this commonly unrelieved 
black surface very much to life.  The latter also has some very fine 
color variations in the same regard, and in fact was to be my choice 
for "slag ballast" if the Smith & Sons product had not come along. 
That this might have been an OK choice gains credibility when one 
learns that this ballast is made from Kaibab stone, a volcanic lava.

A point that needs repeating is that regardless of whether the 
ballast is limestone, slag, or granite, it is almost identical once 
it is dirty (covered with a rust-brown-gray).
