For vastly improved appearance, a little paint can do wonders.

It looks good David! I want to try crushing ballast and applying on mine, when I can finally purchase some track.

So with the small size of our layouts it might make sense to assemble the layout trackwork and paint it all in one go. That would get over any electrical continuity problems caused by paintwork on the rail joiners.
Wouldn't it?

Yes, I believe this would work perfectly.
