I still need some touch up and to paint the spikes and plates, any suggestions? I was thinking rust and black for the plates. And about two weeks to individually hand paint them.

Paints
I used Liquitex Acrylic "Raw Umber" for the ties and for the rail, Floquil "Rail Brown" for this excellent hand paint job.

Tools
I bought the larger brush #0 at CVS and the micro-brush at LHS

For this section it took me 15 minutes to hand paint both the rails and the ties on a 3 foot section. Not bad

Hey Igmuska,
Outstanding demo and tips on weathering ties and track. You should put this into the "How To " thread. Very well done!:thumbsup:
