I used cans of cheap flat brown and black spray paint from the local Ace Hardware store. As for the tops of the rails, some guys use 3 in 1 oil wiped on the rail tops before painting, but I just sprayed a small section at a time, and then wiped with a cloth around my finger. The only parts I used tape on were the turnout points, because if paint gets in there, it's a pain to get out. I brush painted those afterwards. I used a Bright Boy track bar as a final cleaner. <br />By the way, my layout is in N Scale, and it is small enough to take outside to paint. Some guys paint their track before laying it. Others use water based paints like Polly Scale in an airbrush so they can spray indoors. <br />Hope this helps. <br /> <br />John
