And as it's An Unusually Productive Day and the platform modifications are working better than I imagined, finished off the far end:

Platform detaily bits add for position checking, will paint/decorate another time:

It was worth trimming the circular bits which stop the supporting poles sinking too far into the platform, as they look a little oversize when viewed through the cruel lens of the camera.

Tomix track pens (cat. no. 8008)

I use them too, mostly to paint rails, but they are unfortunately unavailable for many years...

Is there something similar available from other brands?

Have yet to encounter any, though I hope if Tomix doesn't re-release them, Poppondetta might bring out something similar.

Humbrol AV0100 Weathering Pens set includes rust colours suitable for track.

 

No idea of global availability however.

Woodland Scenics Track Painter felt tipped pens have TT4580 Steel Rail, TT4581 Rusty Rail and TT4582 Weathered Tie which do the job.
