<p>With a little effort, you can "dramatically" enhance the look of Kato´s Unitrack.</p> <p>Some years ago, I built a small, mini-modular layout using Kato N scale Uniitrack, but didn´t like the plasticky look of it. So I painted the entire track in a dark brown color, using a rattle can, and carefully re-ballasted the track.</p> <p><img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/Track1.jpg" alt=" " /></p> <p>The job is a bit tedious, but the result is worth it!</p> <p><img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/P1020360klein.jpg" alt=" " /></p> <p><img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/P1020251c.jpg" alt=" " /></p> <p>Spreading the ballast and shaping the shoulder works much better if you use a flat, delta-shaped brush!</p>
