I was on eBay looking for the precission craft steam engine that everyone else missed and was only selling for $15, no reserve and free shipping... and it had 1 minute left on the auction, hehe. When I came across this Item http://cgi.ebay.com/1-GALLON-EASY-GROUND-COVER-JUST-MIST-WITH-WATER_W0QQitemZ110051783233QQihZ001QQcategoryZ11648QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem , as you can see the price is $25 per gallon and he says it covers 80-100 feet of track(the cinders version). That's a pretty good deal! check out his other items.
Now I've got a better one for you and I won't charge you shipping... At my hardware store we sell Sweep-n-Lock for in between paver bricks, it looks pretty damn near what this guy is sell, except it goes for $13-17 depending on where you get it from. And that price is for a 2 or 3 gallon bucket. I could low ball this guy and sell it "dirt" cheap, hehe. Because I can get it at cost. But I know all model railroaders want more money towards engines and not ballast. So check it out. It comes in tan and light/medium gray, depending on lighting. You just add water and it has a binding agent in it. I haven't tried it out yet but I'm going to get a scoop at work from our sample bin. I don't think it would mess up the track in any way.
