If you're gong to paint the track after installation anyway, is there any advantage to using weathered track instead of unweathered track?
I brush and weather the ties to lessen the even look of the brown plastic, not the rail itself. Although, on the next layout, I will probably avoid flex track and hand lay weathered rail onto wooden times and avoid all of the issues. But, then there are the pesky 4 spikes per tie <g>.
