What coarseness of ballast should I use for my N gauge layout?
The best coarseness of ballast for N Gauge would be the fine or very fine ballast.
This gives a better scale representation for the N gauge layout.
If you were to use medium or coarse ballast, this would look out of proportion to everything else and be very noticeable.
