I thought I was the only one to use EMD SD 40's no glue technique. I'm in HO, so I don't know how well it will work in N. I use an old hand-turned sausage grinder to break my kitty litter or oil-dry down to the size I want. I use a flanger to profile the ballast. I've made an adaptor for my shop vac that is reduced down to a drinking straw to clean up and sculpt the ballast. I use a small amount of the diluted white glue/water mix around the points on turnouts.
