Rusty Rails Painter - Painting model railroad track

Joe's Model Trains Co. has developed a mini paint roller specifically designed to paint model railroad track. It comes in two sizes...one for Z / N / HO scales and one for larger track like O / S scales. Each size is adjustable and includes rollers and extra disks to easily paint all sizes of rail.

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

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.

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!

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.

Is That A REAL train in The Background

[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?

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