I should warn you, he sells his own paints for it, they are enamel, and just a little thicker then Polly Scale paints. I think Joe's recommends you thin his brand. I tried all the colors, the rust isn't bad, but I ended up using Polly Scale rust, I didn't like the thought of having to clean out the paint tool each time with thinner.
You will want to pratice first on some throw away track. I do N scale Atlas code 55 so I had to use the thin plastic disk. I was happy with the results after I got the hang of it. I let it flow enough to cover the tie plates. Once I was done, I then painted my ties railroad tie brown. Also I had done mine already mounted and glued down on the scenery base. Again another "doing the dave™" so I would say do it on the work bench if possible. It is a time saver for sure. Some folks didn't like it, but I did. Plus Joe's is a pretty decent guy, can't remember if his name is Joe though
.
What Scale are you doing?
