Question about yard tracks

[viperman]

So far, what little I've done to weather my tracks is to paint the ties boxcar brown. I haven't finished yet, but when I do the work, I make sure not to cover everything, still leaving some of the original black from the plastic ties. I plan to eventually hit this with a wash of black to tone it all down and give it a grimy look. I also plan to ballast the tracks with a mix of gray and throw in some black/brown to add variety. After this, hit the middle of the tracks with some wash again to get the oil drips like Wayne showed in his pictures.

I've also seen at Hobby Lobby a "kit" that has three paint pens in it for detailing/weathering tracks which I also plan to purchase at some time
