When I get ready to ballast I am going to try and find Uncle Buck's Ballast. It is made with real crushed stone to HO specs. It is cleaned and a magnet run through it. It will not float when glue is applied like most of the ballast available. Makin Tracks used to sell it and maybe still does. Price was not bad. It sure looks good.

Rail Track Ballast is typically made from crushed granite which has been screened to remove undesirable fines thus creating a hard wearing, free draining and easily cleaned aggregate. Typically Rail Track Ballast is packed between, below, and around the sleepers by specialised equipment. It is used to facilitate drainage of water, to distribute ...

"Weight" is a poor way to calculate ballast needs because it depends on what sort of ballast material you use. Woodland Scenics ballast is made from crushed walnut shells and so is much lighter than, say, Arizona Rock & Mineral ballast that is made from actual crushed rock. The size of the ballast grains makes a difference, too.

The standard cross-sectional profile of railway ballast on the track bed is typically triangular. This profile is designed to support the railway sleepers (ties) and evenly distribute the load. The ballast is laid to a specific depth, generally ranging from 150 to 300 mm, depending on the type of railway line and expected load.
