try using paint marker pens - a variety of colours for track.

A couple of good suggestions there; my own method is to put something interesting on to listen to on the radio, and make sure I'm at non-back-straining angle of lean.

I did a whole baseboard of points and sidings but I put the board up on it's side on the bench so one could just sit at it and paint then turn it over for the other side.
