Source for O'Scale Coal

This comes in a few different sizes, and I find it works very well, this is sand blasting medium from tractor supply very cost effective.

Brennans, he advertises in the scenery source list at the top of this category. Here is a link to his coal...

If you want really good (the best, in my opinion) looking O-scale coal, try

Smith & Son Ballast

13630 G.A.R. Hwy

Chardon, OH 44024

phone 440-286-4890 (after 6 p.m. Eastern time)

They do not have a website.  They sell 8 ounce bags of coal for $1.25 each and have sizes (smallest to largest) of slack (essentially dust), stoker, nut, egg, lump, o-scale lump and mine run.  The mine run coal is a mix of sizes with a few very large pieces just like real unsorted coal.

Here are a couple of photos of their coal on my layout.  Click on a photo to see a larger version.

The first shows nut coal on the left, stoker coal in the nearly empty bin and o-scale lump on the right.

Here is egg coal in the two bins on the left and nut coal on the right.

Thanks guys! All good suggestions. I like Bob's Ohio coal provider's product. I think I'll give him a call.
