A friend of mine turned me on to river silt as a base through out the layout, nothing like dirt to represent dirt. Now before I have posts warning me of impending doom using the river silt, a friend of mine has had his on his layout for 6 years now and it is working fine. Yes I not only baked it but froze it for a week as well, yes I ran a magnet over it, and then did a magical chant just to make sure.sign1
Now here's my request, I'm laying this silt on the layout as a dirt base but the usual kitchen sifters don't quite sift the silt fine enough for N scale, some slightly "larger" pieces affect the look visually. Does anyone have an idea for a "finer" mesh, to sift the river silt yet another time>
