Someplace on one of these forums, someone mentioned parakeet gravel. So I tried it. Cheap easy to use. Two drawbacks <br />1) the color, I will someday have to match it to the rest of my ballast <br />2) there are some "big chunks" that occasionally pop out of the box, you need to sift these out as they are way to big for ballast, but do make nice stones maybe someplace else on the layout. <br />And so far my layout has not been attacked by any maurading parakeets[:D]
