I used a spray can of "railmatch - sleeper grime" wore a mask the whole time, then left it 12 hours before going back into the loft. It's hard to get a can of it (and expensive if on the net!) But a few model shops stock it (Alton models for me!) You can use other brands too (Tamyia and humbrol do some similar colours) then I'll touch it up with the airbrush with similar browns and such colours!
How did you fit the couplings to your shunter, Is the loco a Bachmann or a Hornby, .Interesting article.
It's a Bachmann 08, which has an NEM pocket which is you use the 17, 18, 19 or 20 numbered Kadees they are design to fit in the NEM socket :)
I noticed that you have painted the rails, how and what did you use may I ask thanks
