I used steel rail for this crane, built about 40 years ago. The runway, built only a few years ago, used rail left-over from the original project.

I don't notice a lot of rust, but the running surface was burnished with fine sandpaper to give it a shine - it's all code 100. If I'm not mistaken, one of the hobby shops nearby still carries steel rail, but I somehow doubt that it's any smaller than code 100.
