Hi, Do you want to build hand laid track or are you working with flextrack?
I've seen excellent results from both methods. The techniques used for HO or O
scale will also work for S scale so don't limit your searches to just S
articles. For neglected track I think the ballast is the most distinctive
feature as it usually gets a lot of soil mixed in with it along with some weeds
at times. Also want more rust and less greasy look as there are fewer trains
running over it.Simulated rail joints at 39 foot intervals also adds a nice
touch. You can start a photo album in the photos section to post your test
shots and get more input. Regards DaveBranum
