Yup, enamel sticks better to the metal rail and the shiny plastic Peco use for their sleepers.   I've used various blends over the years, most recently I took the simple option and used a rattle can of Sleeper Grime all over before ballasting.   

After ballasting I use light sprays of brown, black, even dark green to suit the location - eg. where brake dust accumulates in stations,  oil/coal black in depots, a bit of weed/moss on old sidings.

Quote from: Moonglum on Yesterday at 07:18:14 PMSo, John @Train Waiting , is this an admission? I am afraid Country music is a bit lost on me, although Plant/Krauss and Knopfler/Harris feature in my collection. Was it you that quoted Dolly Parton saying "that it costs a lot of money to look this cheap"?

Tim
John @Train Waiting are we going to see more musical postingtons from you?
Like Tim @Moonglum Country doesn't do it for me I'm afraid but do continue to join in on this thread.
The more the merrier.

Hello Chums

TT.

No, not the Isle of Man TT Races with Nortons and Velocettes making their own single-cylinder music.

But ... Miss Tanya Tucker. Here she is (if you are new to TT I suggest you start at 5.35 for a wonderful introduction to her magnificence):-




Patsy, Loretta, Dolly, Tammy, Reba ... and TT!

I've used both without big problems but the enamel seems to bond noticeably better to Kato track.

I prefer the enamel as it seems to cover better

The sleeper grime I use (ref 1406) is enamel but I don't know whether it's better than an acrylic

Hi all,

I'm about to brave weathering my track, but I'm after some advise - enamel or acrylic?

I'm planning to use Railmatch sleeper grime. Track is not ballasted yet. I will likely weather the track again once ballasted.

But, I'm at a cross road. Do I go enamel or acrylic?

Many thanks
Mac
