I ended up using fine sand for most of mine - at first I thought it looked too light but it's darkened down a lot due to dust, residue from track cleaning (I use a Peco cleaning block) etc - it now looks ok. Only snag is I ran out halfway and couldn't get any more, so the rest is done with fine brown gravel (think it's Woodland Scenics but not entirely sure!). I suspect if you could get darker sand (or paint it after installing) it would look very convincing - it looks right in terms of texture at least. Hope this is of help!
