Starting new diorama using a 150’ single track Pratt truss bridge. Now weathering base and then I will start on the ties.

You're going at it in the wrong frame of mind RE.
The build is part of the pleasure of modeling. That's why they call modeling in the present tense.
Now is the time to ensure the bridge is constructed properly. It's hard to fix deficiencies after it's built and scenery is in place.
I went through the struggle of how much is enough when I was building my Canyon Diablo bridge.
