I have been planning a shelf railroad for some time now and was wondering how to make spurs look like they are only used once a month or so. I have seen in the prototype pictures that there is almost no ballast and grass is growing up past the rail head. I have also seen the 'sprinkle-on grass' and it looks like someone comes out with a lawn mower. Is there anything that looks more realistic? Thanks <br />~Brian~
