lately ive been using Woodland Scenics paint pens on rails and ties. then when dry i lightly apply weathering chalks to the ties to give some variation in colour and simulate spils. Dullcoat to fix the chalks then clean the track
I would love to see you guys/gals mix both the realistic ballast with this together with some sort of rusted/scrapped train/rolling stock just on the tracks with some bush/forest/mountian land around the track
That's a great idea! I'm make sure to let our product development team know. If you get to it before we do, send us some pictures! We'd love to see! securewoodlandscenics.woodlandscenics.com/show/information/ContactUs?
Nice Pitch !! Demo and all!! I will remember it for life. Perfect indeed. Looks great!!! And I swear Yo to The Lord I had a bad dream about a paint pen tip that shred'ed and I had no extra one !! And my layout was now going to the show with no rail rust !! Then I woke up... The shredded and extra paint pen tip in ur add that did not have. was just like my dream two days ago !! HO track will shed em to some degree.
Like the pens just used them and much easier than spraying tracks. Sometimes can be hard to get a hold of them in Scotland as many shops here dnt stalk them.
Great product but you need some variations. Black grease soaked ties, variations in the shade of rusts, and a light brown for sun bleached ties. I use your stuff plus washes for the other effects including wood mold.
Thanks so much for your suggestion. I will send it on to our Product Development department for consideration! Appreciate you taking the time to post a comment! Happy Modeling!
***** Oh you guys take product suggestions? :D PLEASE make a larger can of the foam putty, the little can it comes in isn't quite big enough for my taste haha
Painting my N scale track the applicator is so big that it smears the ties too. and the paint doesn't stick to the rails but to the top of the rail. which I then have to remove.If I go lower to try and catch the rail sides I am painting ties. The applicator tip needs to be more pointed for N scale
Thank you for reaching out. For a finer point, you can use a hobby knife or scissors to trim the tip to the desired size. Many N scale modelers use this application technique with good results. Thank you for reaching out and happy modeling!
We test our products in the manner they are intended to be used. Since, we have not tested using a paper towel, we are not able to offer an opinion on the performance of that application. You could try testing a small area to see if the method will create the desired effect.
Determining how many feet of track a Track Painter will cover is difficult to calculate because the pens are used in a variety of ways and for different scales. In our testing, one pen covered 3500 linear feet (lines were lightly drawn and 1/16" thick).
You can purchase the physical catalog for $5, plus shipping, if you do not want the free PDF download on our website. woodlandscenics.woodlandscenics.com/show/item/R100C
We are not familiar with Rearden metal paint, so we are not able to offer an opinion for if this product would work in the manner you have inquired about.
Hello! If you are referring to our Track Painter, then we suggest that you dab the spikes to cover them with paint. Although, if you are using a paintbrush, then we suggest that you paint your tracks prior to applying ballast. Happy modeling!
We used a layout we built here at the plant more than twenty years ago, so we are not entirely sure of the brand. However the track type is Code 83, Flex Track. The brand is most likely Shinohara, but it could also be Atlas or Walthers. They are both very similar to Shinohara. Hope this is helpful to you!
Ive found that the steel rail paint pen isn't any good at, you have to give the treated area more then a once over as you can still see the shine coming through when you run the pen nib on the rail !
Great idea but not for everyone. Hand-laying track using real wood ties (painted with a random wash of dark stain) and pre-weathered rail, the first two effects are already taken care of. For the rust stains, a small brush with a wash of brown oxide and orange paint only partially mixed together, gives a great variety of different rust colors for less money. BTW: Reusing components from my previous layout (which had been stored in a damp environment for several years) gave me a supply of very realistically weathered spikes ... real rust.
Whole video on magic markers. (Or paint markers) never show what they are ,item number. Something. All I am saying is I watched the video so I can order all 3 of these but you never told what to order other than 3 markers. Just went nut trying to order these. Need to know exactly what you are using.
The name of the product is Track Painters and at 0:18 the colors are listed. If you search any of those on our website, they will appear. All product names and numbers are also listed in the description of our videos.
Not so good!I paint first on the ties before i ballast and use waterglue to seal by spray on all of it.Airbrushing is another good way to dirty tracks and ballast to finish dirty way.
What is the point on repainting or demo'ing this product on already painted and weathered track?!? Surley this demo would be better shown on newly laid unpainted track!?!
Stu D'Nutz Hello! We chose to demonstrate the Track Painters on an existing layout with older, already established track, so we could show how realistic you can make your track look regardless if it is old or new.

Yes, the Track Painters can be used for N gauge!
I would love to see you guys/gals mix both the realistic ballast with this together with some sort of rusted/scrapped train/rolling stock just on the tracks with some bush/forest/mountian land around the track

Shouldn't you ballast after you paint the track? Cause i saw some paint get on the ballast.
Hi. Are the paint pens water based? Will the paint run once i wet the ballast?
Let' sell these wonderful products in Brazil, I believe there's a promising market for you guys here. You tell me
Could a paper towel work for getting the paint down on the rails also nice product
We test our products in the manner they are intended to be used. Since, we have not tested using a paper towel, we are not able to offer an
opinion on the performance of that application.
You could try testing a small area to see if the method will create the desired effect.
Thanks woodland scenics people
After cleaning the rails after painting, will the painted colors still show on the top of the rails?
try applying it in an angle, you have to do the outsides and then the insides of the rails, use masking tape on top of the rails
Speaking of weathering , do you guys offer weathering paint
Hello! We only offer the weathering paint in the Track Painter-Weathered Tie. Happy Modeling!
How many 3' flex tracks will one of these pens do?
Determining how many feet of track a Track Painter will cover is difficult to calculate because the pens are used in a variety of ways and for different scales.
In our testing, one pen covered 3500 linear feet (lines were lightly drawn and 1/16" thick).
Will the Train run if the track is weathered.
Yeah, if its as long as the track has wiring underneath it
How do I get a Woodland Scenics catalog to be able to see all of your products. Not on line I want a hard copy of catalog.
You can purchase the physical catalog for $5, plus shipping, if you do not want the free PDF download on our website. woodlandscenics.woodlandscenics.com/show/item/R100C
can that be used to paint rails in n gauge?
Yes
@@epiccsx I'm having an hard time on that. N track really wears out the tip. And the tip is already too big.
Hello. What about Rearden metal paint?
We are not familiar with Rearden metal paint, so we are not able to offer an opinion for if this product would work in the manner you have inquired about.
On my track the spikes are huge and make it hard to paint
Hello! If you are referring to our Track Painter, then we suggest that you dab the spikes to cover them with paint. Although, if you are using a paintbrush, then we suggest that you paint your tracks prior to applying ballast. Happy modeling!
Woodland Scenics thanks , yeah I just bought your paint pen
I marker cost the price of a 3 pack of Floquils pens.

You need to paint with matt varnish first fella
