I have a layout and I work on three other layouts. In my case, I first added feeder wires to the rail, then painted some of them with an air brush before I laid them - these are track only to be used on the straight away. Adding feeders then trying to curve flex track can be difficult so the curved track was left unweathered and painted until I had them installed (which I now do). I will then hand paint them (more of a pain) because I already have my backdrop in and don't want to risk paint - from air brushing - landing on it. <br /> <br />I use a bright boy to clean the top of the rail. I'm not a Bright Boy fan but will use it that once to get paint off. Add masking tape, very tiny slim strips to the point areas of the turnouts.
