Reinhard, Koos, you're welcome, and thank you. As for brown paint on the ballast, haven't really had that problem. Oh, every now and then, a bit of brown paint might get on the ballast when I am not paying attention to the brush, but a clean brush dipped in water and run over the spot dilutes the paint and makes it dissappear.
Something else I am thinking... when ballasting, I use a foam brush to spread the ballast around, and it leaves the ballast slightly below the ties and rails. Perhaps that tiny bit of gap makes the painting process work for me.
