Hi dan, if the sleepers have a slightly rough texture then you can dry brush them. I like to use just an old rag/cloth. Dip the cloth into some black/brown paint (your choice) and rub most of the paint off onto some paper or something. Untill the cloth only makes a small smudge when wiped across the paper. Use the cloth to wipe accross the sleepers just so the paint sits on the rough parts of the sleeper. You can also paint the side of the rails with a rusty/brown colour. but make sure you wipe clean the rail surface on top before it dry's!!!
