Weathering and Installing Code 55 Flex Track: Part 3

My Web Site: http://modelrr.oakviewresources.com/
A bunch of people have asked me how I secure my track to the road bed so I've put together a short tutorial on how I do it on my model railroad. In addition I talk about how I weather the track. Hopefully you can use some of the ideas I demonstrate on your layout.

Does the weathering solution stain your bathtub when you rense the track? Keep up the great work!

I've never had any problems with staining.

After you finish the cleaning process, how long before you start cleaning the rails again? like once per month?

[thebige61]

I live in an older house that's fairly dusty.  I need to go around the layout with a track cleaning car about once a week. It takes about 10-15 minutes to clean off the dust. I've been working on the mainline so I haven't run anything in a while so there is a pretty good build up of dust.

how do you cut the stuff?

[infernodood3]

what is the paint mixture made up of? i would rather do a rusty brown colour

They say NEVER use sand paper cause you leave micro cratches on the rail that collect dirt.
