Lay the track using sectional or flexible track. I glued it down with latex construction adhesive.
Mix the spackle with enough black acrylic paint to prevent any white chips or scratches.
Apply the tinted spackle flush with the railheads and taper down toward the curb line. Let dry overnight and sand out any tool marks.

|
After letting the spackle dry overnight, Press in the flange ways by running a craft stick along the
railheads while crushing the spackle to the spike level.

|
The brick carving tools cut from the adhesive trowels. The notched edge of the 1/8" tool (red) needs to be filed to
1/16" thick.

|
Dozens of brick courses are scribed with the 1/16" tool.

The individual bricks are stamped from the courses with the 1/8" tool.
