Track Painting

Nothing too elaborate here. An unseasonably bright and warm day a few weeks back resulted in getting Corri-Llyn outside to have the rail sides and sleepers painted. 

Unlike most modellers though I don't paint my rails 'rust' colours, instead going with a 'tank grey'. When fully ballasted it creates a nice effect of grease and grime on the sides of the rails, whilst also not being as overpowering or luminous as some rust colours can be. 

This is actually my first time painting rails with a rattle can too, usually it'd all be hand painted. I'm never going back now, well, aside from slight weathering and touch ups that is.
