you can use sifted dirt from your back yard, ,parakeet gravel, or just about anything else that is small enuff, not magnetic, and looks good. <br /> What I do is outline my road in a pencil, paint it in with brown or gray paint depending on if its gravel or dirt, (its paint from a craft store cant remember the name but its sometimes on sale for 3 bottles for a buck) While the paint is still wet, i paint it with elmers white glue, while that is still wet, ,I add my garavel or dirt. either with a spoon or a small applicator bottle I have. Then I soak it with a mixture of a few drops of liquid dish detergent miked with water, and let it soak in good. The I apply a mixture of diluted elmers glue. If I want ruts in it, I usually take my spoon, and run them down the road to look like wheel ruts
