I have been talking with my engineering group about this on the side and we all agree that painting the railing and ties would be by far the easiest and best way of protection against UV. I never even gave UV light a thought at the beginning. Thank you so much for pointing that out. So Altterain (Brian) idea looks like the best so far. The other problem that has been pointed out would be the derailment due to small particles that are in the way. Well i have not talked to them about this yet but i gave it some thought and decided to test what it takes to knock my trains off the track. These were the results.1) Grass blade  =  No2) Twig           =  Yes3) Small peble   =  No it just got knocked out of the way.4) Leaf            =  YesAlso getting the track to be semi even and level will be challenging but all that takes is time and effort. If i dont rush i dont think that will be a problem.So in the end grass so long as there is not a pile of it will not bother them. I will have to walk the track before i start to make sure that no leaves or twigs have fallen in the way. Is there any other items that might become a problem?Also about what Rex wrote most of my track have been sitting in a box for the last 2 years but from what i remember i dont know of anyway of replacing the ties with anything that would be UV resistant. If they can be removed then taking the ties off to paint would be by far the easiest. If they can not pop on and off then as Altterain (Brian) said just wipe off the top of the rails right after they are painted and everything should be just fine.
