NIevo, I am grateful for your compliment. Thank-you!
The far rails are painted, using a small artist's brush, with PolyScale "Railroad Tie Brown". The close rails were weathered the same way with Floguil "Rust".
The ballast between the rails was brushed with a mixture of tempera powder (a mix of black and brown) and plaster of Paris. Once mixed, the mixture powder is liberally brushed between the rails, including on the ties, and then the layer is sprayed lightly, but enough to wet it, with a mix of isopropyl alcohol and water. It dries in less than an hour if you have not over sprayed, and looks very good once it is done. If insufficient to show well, repeat the process.
