I used Woodland Scenics Fine Cinders around my engine shop in Lowbanks, and while I like the colour well enough, the texture appears too coarse. The addition of some black grout might make it look better, so I may give it a try.

Another possibility for tracks in dirt might be WS Fine Turf - Earth. I tried real dirt (very fine) but didn't particularly care for the effect, as it came out looking like brown concrete. The Earth stuff retains some of the discrete appearance of its particles, although I mixed mine with fine ballast and weeds. Perhaps real dirt with a light dusting of Earth will look more "dirt-like" than the real thing.
