Now that I research further, here's an approach from KC-area modeler Keith Jordan that I think I like better: http://web.mac.com/ckjordan/The_Patch/Patch_Scenery.html Perhaps some of the KC folk who've operated here could attest to the look and feel. In the past, I put N-scale W.S. buff ballast into an old Braun coffee grinder to create a "dirt" road and really liked the effects. Now, I just hope that I brought the old grinder with me when we moved! Best Regards,
