How do you weather (paint) track?

I first air brush Rail Brown Flowquil on the rails and ties. Then I follow with a thinned down Rust color and focus on the rails, this gives the rails a bit of rust without affecting the ties. Then I lighty dust the track with thinned down black for some shadow depth. <br /> <br />In some cases you can go back with a medium grey for some high lights, but I prefer not too. <br /> <br />Lastly I use a small piece of 1/8" cork soaked with thinner and remove the paint from the top of both rails. The cork precisly removes the paint from the top of the rails only and is very quick. A paper towel may drop between the rails and remove paint where you don't want too. <br /> <br />Dave
