I have use with success rail brown from Floquil in the past but concerns about spraying solvent base paint without ventilation in the layout room and the house led me to find an alternative. The local hobby shop told me many customers were using Poly S dirt color. So I gave it a try, diluted with distilled water and was pleased with the result. For those who saw the S scale workshop modules in Scranton could see the result on the “U” modules.

It looks like new rust, not rust that darkens over time. As an alternative, Lance Mindheim recommends Rustoleum Brown Camouflage paint in rattle cans for painting track. In either case, be sure to have ventilation and a respirator!
