Well sir....you asked me what I did. You did not ask me what YOU could do. An 
airbrush is not needed. Someone out there makes a felt-tipped pen (think: small 
Magic Marker) meant specifically for painting the sides of rails. I think it 
might be Woodland Scenics. Seems to me this is about the easiest way to paint 
rails without an airbrush. A spray can would probably work except for the spray 
pattern being so wide.

Y'betcha....I use a rag on my fingertip soaked with track cleaning fluid and 
apply it to the railhead. After the paint is sprayed on, just wipe the railhead 
and the paint comes right off. No scrubbing at all. Clean as a whistle...!

After your performance at Duluth, I think we should call you "hose Bob". Just a 
thought...
