I purchased a cheap airbrush for $8 at a tool import sale that goes around to armories. www.harborfreight.com sells an automotive touch up gun for $20 which works better than most airbrushes it you have an air compressor already. Airbrushes are fantastic if you are painting locos, but the touchup gun makes painting go faster on bigger jobs like track and mountains. You can also paint track with a spray can before you put it down. That's really the way to go. And you can quickly clean the paint off the tops of the rails with a green scotchbrite quicker than with a brightboy or masking or oiling. Brushing with a brush works too. As said already, it's well worth painting track.
