Could I use Insta-snow on my layout? Would it damage the trains and/or track at all? If so, alternatives?

Some online research into Christmas village type layouts may give you some interesting options, from white carpet, to foam. Try the keywords "Dept. 56"(a brand) +/-, layouts, Christmas, snow, train, etc. Its approaching that time of year so I imagine its an active topic somewhere out there.

A while back, maybe 4/5 years ago, I bought white fabric for the layout to look like snow. it works fine and when i'm done with the christmas layout, i just through the fabric in the washing machine and store it away for the next year.

I have tried several different things, from using fake snow and sheets of a cotton-like material, but in the end it was just too much a hassle to clean up. Now I just laydown clean, white paper and fake snow in just a few areas.
