Great job! Do you know what color your club used to paint the track rails with? Thank you.
@DonaldKeiser198123 күн бұрын
Thanks Paul. My club uses Krylon “camo colors” available at most Lowes or Home Depot. These are the full size spray cans. Mostly the color is the camo brown with a little camo black here and there. Finally, a light dusting of weathering powders mixed with alcohol to tone everything down a little. It sounds complicated but very easy to do. My large home layout I just used the Krylon paint only. Hope that helps.
@paulmancinelli591123 күн бұрын
Thank you Don, I am looking to paint my rails and I really like the color you chose.
@DonaldKeiser198123 күн бұрын
@ You are welcome Paul. Also, check out my other videos I have of my home layout to look at the track too. I usually “clean” off the rail with a rag or paper towel and rubbing alcohol. It cleans good and evaporates quickly. Using the brown spray, I then do both sides of the outside rails. I also paint the black center rail. That is up to you. What is important is to clean off the top of the rail with a rag wrapped around a small piece of wood that you can slide across the top of the rail. If you do not get all the paint off, do not worry. Let it dry and wipe it off with a little lacquer thinner or paint thinner. With the black, just spray some random shots here and there. Trust me, it will look great! Any questions, just ask.

I tell you, Don, that is one beautiful train of box cars. 73 cars, that may very well be the longest train of box cars yet seen in the challenge. I love all of those high-cube cars and your choices for motive power! That lead unit is really striking. Don, you created a very entertaining video with I noted some help from your friend, Tristan, with the "time lapse." Just a really awesome job all the way around. Thank you, for taking part in this year's holiday box car challenge. I very much appreciate it. You can now proclaim quietly to yourself or out loud so the world can hear, "Bill B., I did it!"
