Two points you could consider in your next railroad diorama: 1. The rails rust to a dark brown colour, older rails would also get soot and oil splashes from steam engines on them which also darkens the rust. Fresh rails could have that orange-brown colour of fresh rust. 2. Them rocks (nearly boulders) between them there ties are way too large Modern tracks are laid with gravel comparable in size to half of a mans fist or less. Older tracks, especially side lines, could have coarse sand between the ties. A main line for heavy traffic could have had gravel (see comment on size above). / Robin
