Thanks for the advice Wil (from other forum). I can't take it though because I can't use the airbrush in my room. I only ever use it in the shed.

I am however supprised at how easy and fun brush painting track can be. Neatness is only needed in a few areas so a slightly thinned mix seems to work. Not all track is laid but I have painted what is. I have not finished painting it but it oooks to my aye pretty good so far. Ive only used two coloures; Humbrol 32 and 62 Matt, just mixed differently in combination. One is a sort of brown lether colour and the other a kind of dark grey. Might add other colours but I'm awere too much is not convincing. Maybe a bit of grease on slide chairs.

Neither pic shows the true colours they are so here is a pic both with and without a flash, use your imagination. :-\

And a pic of my current congregation of P4 converts sitting in their pews.
