Recommended Track/Ballast

What would the recommendation be for duplication of this track, ballast and bed? I will be using TANE.

If you're not interested in procedural junctions, check out the NS-series track from Jointed Rail. It's available on their website. If you want to go for something on the DLS with a bit darker ballast, you might be interested in the SAM track. There is one with both a rusty as well as a new rail.

JR NS track with matching ballast:

JR_NS_tex_clean,<kuid2:45324:35010:1>
JR NS 3,<kuid2:45324:38030:1>
JR NS 4,<kuid2:45324:38031:1>
JR NS 5,<kuid2:45324:38032:1>
JR NS yard 1,<kuid2:45324:38033:1>
JR NS yard 2,<kuid2:45324:38034:1>

SAM track with matching ballast: (Look for SAM textures).

SAM Track - III/B class 3 v1 LOW,<kuid2:132952:100402:2>
SAM Track - III/B class 3 v1 RUSTY LOW,<kuid2:132952:100403:2>

The low-series track don't have the screw bolts, which makes the tie plates look more like our spiked plates. There's a ton of other track as well, which might be suitable in this series including some of the wooden track.

The problem with the JR NS stuff is that it is payware.

I can come close on the ballast but sadly the rails are 35lb NG36 (pencil42 track)



Here is another attempt at matching your photo



JR's HD no ballast track on a pencil42 track fill bed. Probably be a real pain trying to lay this out.
