Well, someone should market train ballast for Cat Litter!!!! http://www.everclean.com/
Actually this was the best brand of cat litter we used, when we had two cats. No more smell. Cost a bit more, but worth it. To make this train related, it is a very fine litter, if you want something very fine for ballast. And the color is a good light gray.

One thing that hasn't been mentioned is that most cats are drawn to actually using the cat litter whether it's the litter box or the mainline! Since we have three cats, of which two venture into the trainroom, taking a chance isn't a good idea. My wife will change the litter box and the cats will line up just waiting to use it. I actually photographed a cat for the packaging for one brand of litter. The cat was one of those fussy, stuck-up, long-haired white felines, (needless to say we didn't hit it off, so getting it to pose was out of the question) while the litter itself came from a mine in Georgia--it's really just a clay. As Roger suggests it resembles the marble found on the Monon, so I suppose one could actually use the stuff for a clay mine too!
