The more I looked at the ties on my HOn3 Shinohara track at Rimersburg, the less happy I was with the way they blended in with the ties on the wooden coal transfer trestle. Finally I decided before I went any further that something HAD to be done. I rummaged through my considerable stock of acrylic paints and found Plaid Paint Co. Folk Art #936, Barn Wood. It was a reasonable match for the stain my friend had used on the transfer trestle. I am not sure if the stuff is still made, but I will look about during my travels and see if I can find it, as it makes things look one heck of a lot better. I will try it on the Atlas Code 83 I am using on the standard gauge too. I just dry brush it on with a soft brush.
