Many good LHS's will buy the bulk bags and re-package it themselves into smaller bags. Hydrocal comes in several versions(Hydrocal/Ultracal/etc.). They just re-package the same materials you can buy elseware in bulk. Woodland Scenics materials are easy to buy, but very expenssive. what about just some dirt from outside? a rock and gravel company maybe? bulk sand? it seems I go to the hobby shop.buy a crap load of stuff.and in about 2 hours im out of supplies! is this normal? hahha ![]() How about ballast? again about $4 for a bag of woodland scenics ballast. I have been using the woodland scenics rolls of plaster cloth and styrofoam and s going well.9 bucks for a roll.can I do it cheaper? can I get this stuff in bulk? well my wad of cash is gone so im now ready to do things the cheapest way. I have already commited about $2500 on wood for this train set, 2 loomotives, some cars, construction insulating foam, paints, paint brushes track, power supplies heheh.why am I telling you all this, you all know how it works. Is that about right? I am really looking to spend less. I wanted to know what is the difference? What is the difference with Plaste of paris? a 10 pound box of this hydrocal was I think 10 bucks.so 1 dollar a pound. but I dont think they are woodland scenics.but it seems to work fine. I have read about the WS lightweight Hydrocal.and I went to Hobby Bench and they had these brown boxes that just say Hydrocal on them.
