Model Railroad Diarama Question
Readers might like to share their ideas and experiences and have a go at answering this question posed by a fellow model railroading enthusiast.
“I would like to design a diarama showing an after rain shower with puddles, water stains on the rolling stock and wet ballest. But I am at a loss as what to use to similate hard packed soil between the ties on the sidings from years of wind and dust which would eventually cover the ballest. I was told not to use plaster as it would crack. Any suggestions?”

Have you tried sifted dirt secured with diluted white glue?
Returning to MRR after several decades absent. If I may, a question. Have built benchwork, topped with 11/2 in. extruded foam insulation (pink stuff). Should I paint insulation with an earth colored laytex paint before proceeding??
