My easy way to weather track and also color your Code 100 Atlas track is simple. All you have to do is buy rail brown spray paint for the hObby Shop. It is like $4 a can. Then after youy lay the track, nail it, and AFTER you solder it if you choose to. You spray the whole track and do it in three to four foot sections at a time. After you spray it. Grab a piece of a extracting razor blade that snap off by sections. Take a piece of paper towel and wrap it around the blade. The blade is so when you clean the top of the rail your paper towel will not also remove the spray paint from the ties. Then you use it on the flat end and go along the rail top and the paper towel will clean up the rail brown from the top of the rail. You must do this before it dries or it will be hell to clean off then. After its all done about 30 minutes later go along the top with a brite boy for the finishing shine as on real rail track. It will look great, Shiny on the top and rusted looking on the sides. Give it a try and I am sure you will like it.
