what a nice horn in the background

Guy sounds like the dad on American Pie. lol

What about for G track? I like that my stainless track keeps conductive power, but that it will never oxide.

[joesmodeltrains]

Rusty Rails Painter tool #350-102 / O Scale / has a larger roller. The roller can paint up to 1/4" wide in one pass. No loss of conductivity after painting.

just picked up the new rusty rails tool.....can't wait to give it a shot tonight.....my 5 yr old is going to help me.....

good

[trainlover479]

is it a real train i hear in the bg?

[joesmodeltrains]

Yes it's real. It wasn't even a planned thing! Erie gets around 75 trains a week coming through just 4 blocks away- music to my ears!

[trainlover479]

music to mine to :)

@trainlover479 No, it's an elephant with a megaphone.

[sater4life]

should i put my magnetic buildings near the track or further away from trake???

ps:Great product!!!!!!

[joesmodeltrains]

This tool has nothing to do with magnetic buildings or their locations on a layout.

[gt3corn]

Which track do you recommend? Atlas has good products, and does Peco, But I just wanted to know what you think. BTW, I'm getting the Rusty Rails Painter!!! Another great product from a great company! Good job!

[joesmodeltrains]

There is no loss of connectivity in painting over the established connections with our formulated acrylic paints.

Good question and comment!

[ACLTony]

Joe, Great tips. This certainly makes the rails so much more realistic. However, I've always been paranoid about electrical conductivity, especially with DCC/Sound. I'm building an HO layout and plan to install jumpers between flex track sections. I'm concerned that painting over the solder points on the sides of the rails may hamper conductivity. Any thoughts on this?

[Gahman900]

but if u clean the track it will wipe the rust off

[joesmodeltrains]

Rust on the top of rails is common for certain layout areas, but not for others- like main lines. The instructions show how to wipe the tops!

[pacbelt]

That is a great idea for those of us(me!) who ballasted their track before remembering to paint it!

Is That A REAL train in The Background

[joesmodeltrains]

Wipe clean the rail tops with alcohol.

[bubbagotcar]

how much does it cost?

[joesmodeltrains]

Rusty Rails Painter tool costs $14.95. See page 866 in the 2008 Walthers Reference Book.

[joesmodeltrains]

Rusty Rails Painter tool still costs $14.95! See page 852 in the 2009 Walthers Reference Book.
