HESR Shelf Layout - Track Painting - a photo on Flickriver

This is Atlas Code 83 flex track with Micro Engineering Code 83 turnouts.

To achieve the wood grain appearance with the tie painting I first spray painted the track with an off-white primer. After allowing the primer to cure for 24 hours I then brush painted the ties with artist oils (burnt umber and sienna) thinned with mineral spirits.

I first saw this technique used by a modeler named Jeff who is modeling the Grand Trunk's Flint sub. Check out his beautiful layout here: gtwflintsub.blogspot.com/p/trowbridge_17.html
