The Hobby Model Trains' paint roller tool specially designed to paint model railroad track. And it has now evolved to be designed better than ever. Now made in the USA with better tool and die work and top notch quality.
Rusty Rails Painter® is better than spray, brush, or paint pens. It is reusable, refillable, easier to clean, more roller size capacities, and has a new paint flow-port *design. Our latest version features a longer anti-corrosion nickel plated paint tube and a washable stainless steel paint screen mounted inside the metal cap. It has a removable O-ring for when washing, a smaller sized softer plastic paint bottle for easier maneuverability and quicker priming. And with a gentle squeeze pressure the softer paint bottle provides consistent paint flow. Air uptake/ replacement of the paint is instant when squeeze is relaxed. Unlike the paint pens (https://youtu.be/-Ux0P0ew4BY?si=1Mhz_ZYrMswTFbnY)...this mini paint roller gets all sides of the rails easier than all other options and with no masking of the rails! Great on already ballasted track! The only consumable on the Rusty Rails Painter® is the foam roller and the paint. Wash it and reuse later! The metal parts are epoxy mounted. So washing with dish detergent and hot water, or mineral spirits is fine!
For 2024! "Times are Great" SALE. As we weather our way through another year of a... Build Back Better \ "Times Are Great" economy and enjoy our times with Model Railroading... we are being told by men and some women that never really had real jobs that times are the just great!
Well, looking at our inventory in storage we just happen to have a ton of Polyurethane Foam from the past few years. The industrial "minimum order" we needed to meet for the special order cell density was and is the cause for a -more than we can- sell stock.
The rollers do not require hardly any extra labor and we have a few hundred square feet of material in stock so why not? We don't need to squeeze another few dollars out of our customer's pockets that visit this website or hobby stores. So I decided to do our part to ease any worries about replacement foam rollers. Nicholas and I feel darn good about it!
Buy any scale Rusty Rails Painter® tool or Starter Kit and relax knowing you will have enough rollers to finish your work on your layout! The Rollers are FREE! After your initial order (with rollers included) is shipped / received and you need more rollers- just send a stamped self addressed envelope to us for another zip lock of 5 fresh rollers! Where ever in the world you are!
Rusty Rails Painter® Rollers (listed below) available in 4 thicknesses and each can be interchanged on the same RRP Tool.
*Latest Design: Previously, the drilled hole for the paint was located on the tube a very short distance from the edge of the roller to let paint travel to the edge of the roller via a gravity fed design. Separated by the flat flange for the roller and disc. The clear stiff plastic bottle was the idea to prevent excessive paint flow, and possibly make a mess for the modeler. So now, the drilled hole (flow-port) is sized a bit larger, moved to the roller's edge BUT incorporated with a heat and crimp process to collapse and bend a portion of the hole. Now...having it on the side of the roller.
Rusty Rails Painter® also works great for weathering sleepers and spikes, structural roofing, etc! Simply a wider foam roller with diluted paint or Joe's Custom Weathering Dyes is the way to go! Especially for showing the transparency of the wood grain on the sleepers through our Limestone or Rust colored weathering dye.
And don't forget...the top outsides of the track rails stay rusty!
