Rail Paint Tool?
Posted by jrbernier on Wednesday, October 5, 2005 5:57 PM
A few months back, someone posted a link to a tool that was used to paint the side of HO rail - seemed pretty slick. I have 'googled' the net and have done a search on the forum to no avail.
Anyone still have that link? The tool had a pair of wipers that were loaded with paint, and it very nicely did the sides of the rail without getting the ties painted as well.

I just use spray paint. I paint the rails from the sides, and then I lightly spray the color I want for the ties from the top. That prolly wouldn't work that good for concrete ties though.
