Pete:

You can also use pure Nickel plated brass rail as well. and for an indoor layout you could use a spray painting application that makes the sides look rusty. I have seen it quickly done by taping with painters tape the top of the rail heads and alongside the tie strips so that the paint will go onto the rail sides. The Buntbahn.de had a few poeple showing their pcitures there.
