Excuse me if this topic has been covered before, however I was unable to find any useful results using the search box... <br /> <br />Anyways, I have been reading though my archive of Model Railroad magazines and I have noticed that most modellers use 'dirt' as their primary source of ground cover. I can see why, it is a perfect match for colour and consistency, and looks great. However, I know that they don't use the standard potting soil which you find in a household plant or in your garden, becaues it is much to dark and unrealistic. I am modelling the Rocky Mountains, and so I was wodering if anyone had any suggestions on what sorts of dirt would be practical to use? Thanks for any advice. <br /> <br />~Robert
