Snow

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

I really do not know.  I heard they used shaved glass for the TV show, but I don't know..

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.

War strategy game shops are great places to find little bits of obscure odds and ends suitable for RR modeling.
