Thanks for the replies. I think I've decided on painting the building with Depot Buff with oxide red/brown windows, doors and trim. It will be a nice contrast and won't be so dark that the structure dissappears nito the scenery.
Speaking of scenery:
After the glue dried I added ballast to the ties, using Woodland scenics fine gray ballast. When that dried I sanded the tops of the ties to level the ballast with the tie tops and to provide some variation to the tie colors. I then gave the rest of the base it's first layer of ground cover with some WS fine earth ground foam.
Now I can start laying down some rail. There's about 38" of track to hand lay here.
