"Weathering the Tracks With TAMIYA Paints" Model Trains Part 21

[@Mrruneight]

Very nice work indeed! After seeing this, this is how I am going to paint my track. Thanks so much for sharing this!

[@csxmad]

Glad it was helpful! Cheers Robert

[@mjtunstall1976]

great idea, been trying to find a way to tone down the tracks i just installed, it is screaming too loud now that is what i need for my small n scale table! thanks mate

[@csxmad]

Hope it works out for you cheers Robert

[@lionellance]

Great job Robert. .thanks for sharing and keep up the great work

[@ronb2943]

Wow... Fantastic results. Thanks!!

[@davidcurtis5398]

Wow !! I just saw the braces you used on the layout. Very good and real nice work on them. People just don't go to the trouble to do this kind of detail these days. I'm impressed... I have been spraying the track and I found that a square of OSB lumber with a couple of layers of paper towel works great. Then the same OSB square (about 4 X 4 inches) will take almost all of the rest of the paint off when used as a scraper but will not scratch the track. Use the rough side of the wood. I use Rustolieum and even it being a paint that will melt foam, I find that if you use it in light coats, it will work without any problems.

[@csxmad]

David good idea using the lumber will try that out on the new layout cheers Robert

[@davidfreshour6287]

any issues with running locos after paint? I've had to really clean the tops to get decent connections

[@csxmad]

No problems with running loco's but you do have to clean the top of the rails cheers Robert

[@trackspike64]

Looks good so far! what colour ballast are you planning on using??

[@csxmad]

Matt i will be using grey Ballast

[@azmike1]

Cool. Looks great. But a simple "latex" spray would have worked as well. No?

[@csxmad]

Any spray would work i just like this colour of paint cheers Robert

Wish there was commercial sized bottle of this stuff. Tamiya bottles are too small

[@csxmad]

Yes they are small cheers Robert
