I am new to the forum. I am working on my 1st layout, its small 4x6 but its going to have allot going on. Anyway part of the layout requires a line to be elevated, and I am building a trestle system out of wooden girders. I need to know how you can paint cork a concreate color, and I tried it with WS paint but it seemed to soak in, or should I put many more coats on. Also with painting the rails, you would paint the ties also right? Since they get break dust all over also.
