I am sure someplace I have read but can't find it now what colour do you people spray the track to give that rust affect.

I give mine an all over spray of Humbrol no. 29 before ballasting, then add grease and grime with sooty black and earth brown using an airbrush.

I would happily put a track oblong outside, if I thought it would get wet. Mouth to mouth on goldfish, is time consuming

I too use Phoenix Rusty Rails. I've also used Humbrol 'Leather'.
