Model Railroader 2026 Calendar
Don't miss Model Railroader’s all-new 2026 calendar, featuring Rod Stewart's spectacular layout!
I use “Scenic Sand” from Hobby Lobby. They have it in 12 different colors, but only 4 or 5 would work in most modeling applications. But you can always mix different colors then tint them later.
The Black works good for HO scale coal and Beige or yellow sand works good for my Gold mine.
Of course there are other companies that have sand, Amazon has it in different textures and colors.
