On the mains, I brush a light coat of Floquil "rust" on the outside of the rails and then another light coat of Floquil 'grimy black' to simulate grease, road dirt, etc. <br /> <br />For sidings, I use a bit more of the 'grimy black' than the rust, some of the rust can go on the insides of the rails as well, but I usually don't paint the insides. <br /> <br />I think it would be great if there were a way to color the railheads without reducing the conductivity to the locomotives. If anyone knows of such a way, I'd like to know about it.
