Lutz, thank you for your pictures.
Your Pictures show that I did not made an error with painting the rails in a rusty color.
However the problem is in all cases - rails coming direct out of the steel mill will have a blue-gray color given by not rusted cinder. The question is - how many time must go away until the rails will get a complete rusted survace. I'm absolutely sure that this will need one week or more and in other cases (depending from the steel alloying) also months.
Rails in 1900 time will not have the quality of today's products however nevertheless I will add yet a few blue-gray color points to "my" rail loads showing their "freshness".
