I did it this time also with a brush only. My small north yard was not worth the trouble using the airbrush. And I was surprised how fast it went on (although I did use a brown with to much red this time). I do also understand that the ballast glue has some influence on the rail paint.
But I have problems to imagine how you either paint rails and ties with a small brush without painting all over the ballast or take a wider brush and paint intentionally also on the ballast and it still looks right.
I would get crazy with a small brush or end up with a 2" wide brown strip. From what I have seen so far I understand you know very well what you are doing. So I am really looking forward to learn how it is done.
