... painting track that is. I finished up with the Mendota yard (staging) this afternoon and happily put the black paint on the workbench shelf. I went back later in the day and used a Bright Boy track cleaner to return the shine to the top of the rails. I also started running trains again and found that some of the switch points will need some detailed cleaning. The paint has insulated the points as they come in contact with the outside rails. However, that is a minor issue and I am very happy to report that the painting is behind me. I am now able to move on to base scenery and start covering up the foam board blue!
All for now.
Happy Railroading!
