I've now reached the laborious stage of painting the rail sides with rust colour and ballasting. I've read many different ways of tackling these but what is best - and quickest and easiest!
Some say spray the whole lot rust (except turnouts) and then clean off with rag whilst still wet or let dry and clean with track rubber. Others say just get going with the fine brush and lots of patience.
Ballasting - who knows?
(In truth I've been at this stage for some time - big mistake was to lay track, build control panel and do all electrics so everything works, then test everything for months as an excuse for running my cherished collection of nicely weathered locos!)
