Coffee Grounds for Ballast
« on: October 07, 2025, 03:12:45 AM »
Greetings All:

I drink a lot of coffee.  Grind my beans.  Consequently, I have a lot of coffee grounds.

One day, I dried out the grounds and put them in a glass jar with the idea of using it for track ballast.  Has anyone ever tried this?

Oh man; I just had another idea.  Coal load for the tender.  What say you?

I look forward to your responses.

 Kind regards,
Max
