There was some pitting mainly evident in photos #19 & 22.  I think I may have put an extra coat of primer on it to smooth it out some but it was pretty severe.  On this one I painted the track black.  On others where the rust isn't severe I have had good luck using Radio Shack Control/Contact Cleaner and Lubricant spray and fine steel wool.  Just spray some on the steel wool and rub the metal until the rust is gone.  The blackening remains and the lubricant acts as a rust preventer also.  

The spray paints I used are:

Rustoleum Painters Touch 2X Gloss Marigold #249862,  Valspar Satin Tropical Foliage #85082,  Duplicolor Chev Orange DE1607 (for door & window frames).  I don't remember the red but I think just about any gloss or satin red will work.  I primed the plastic parts with Painters Touch 2X Flat Gray Primer #249088.  I like the Painters Touch products because they are plastic friendly.  For the metal I used a Rustoleum metal primer but you can use the Painters Touch too.
