Hello FrienTs
I am new here and i orderd my first T Gauge Startig Kit
I am thinking about to kreate a litte layout.. and i am thinking about hof the tracks could be coloured and weathered. I might use an airbrush..
usin a normal brush might glue the tracks and insulate the connectors...
are there any experiences?
Second:
In other gauges it is usual to feed the tracks serverel times by soldering some wires to the rails every 2 meters..
can i do the same to the t tracks? I think theyr made of stanless steel like Märklin so tehy couldnt be soldered.. maybe only at the connectors...
any experience here??
Thank You so far

Railion:
Welcome to the world of T gauge modelling. I hope you enjoy it.
As to your questions about track. David K Smith covered the weathering very well in an entry on his blog http://1-450.blogspot.com/2008/09/what-little-paint-can-do.html I have used the method myself and can vouch for it. For the matter of soldering feed wires every 2M on your track for power. I don't know if anyone has built a layout large enough for that to be a concern. I myself use the standard power connectors that come with the track.
