Anyone ever use the version of "Kitty Litter" that hasn't been colored green? May be a little coarse for some places. DJE

The original Future is no longer available. We now use Lundmark All-Wax Floor Wax, purchased from Ace. All one needs to do is spray a little water/detergent to wet down the ballast, then flow the wax on with an eyedropper/ear-flushing bulb. Sometimes, you can even spray the wax on if you don't have scenery completed in the vicinity. Faster than white glue and far easier to apply. Might leave a little gloss on the ties, but you won't notice it, or even care if you do, because, by gum, you got all of your track ballasted instead of putting it off. Someone mentioned using sand for ballast (or at least trying to), I strongly advise against that: you will end up with ultra fine silica particles everywhere on your layout (no matter how much glue you use), which will work their way up into your steam locos' running gear.
