[quote="eightyeightfan1"]Thanks Doc.
Not a big rail painter. Tried it a couple of times, and had operational problems after cleaning the rails real good.
Sooo....I don't paint the rails.
Dear Ed
When I got my track down, the first thing I did was to use rust colored Floquil paint and a small brush to paint the sides and base of the rail. I never paint the surface for the same reason you state, to many problems.
It takes a while to paint rail by hand but the results are great. I had one fellow ask me if there was a way to stop my rail from rusting. That made my day.
But putting that aside, That is a terrific scene just the way it is.
