Hi Diesal, do you have any pictures to show us what it looks like? You can always add weathering to replicate oil leaks on top and rust near the tracks.
It seems strange that it's going green; is it near some flock or paint which would add pigment to the PVA water mix?
PVA usually sets clear so it shouldn't colour.
It's best to have a photo of what you're trying to replicate handy so that you can refer to it. While your ballast may not look like the layouts in the magazines you may be surprised that it looks more like real life ballast.
