Here is my new second generation 3rd rail on my layout. Protection board is painted black. Rail chairs and braces are painted light gray. Rail tie extension is painted brown and blends somewhat with the Atlas track (when new). Extensions are at every 5th tie.

Nice job Joe. I love that third rail.
Next thing you have to work on is to get the screw heads covered on the benchwall
Ben, that is the catwalk.
No such thing as a catwalk in the subway system They are called benchwalls
That is pretty good!
Benchwalls? What ever happened to the catwalk. That's what it was always called.
Not by subway workers Catwalks are on elevated structures
I guess you learn something new every day. LOL Maybe I should give a class on 3rd rail building at the next NYC Modelers Convention.
Joe,
I'd like to take you up on that offer! I think giving a little "how to" clinic on the subject is a great idea. Let me know and we'll arrange it.
BTW, Ben is right in a tunnel the walkways are called benchwalls.
Thanks
Sign me up for the class The new third rail looks awesome
it does look awesome but the screws in the catwalk annoy me. 
The catwalk in the tunnel annoys me
