My question is; how can I paint the entire layout in one color and which is the best color. Thank you, regards, Carlos Crocco

But I feel that it depends quite a bit on what you plan for the layout and the size. Bahnbetriebswerk? I might be inclined to paint it grey to match the ashes and coal that would be ever-present. Countryside? Perhaps a green to start. My personal one is what might be called "Laminat-Bahn" or in my case Fichtebahn 'Spruce Railway', basically bare wood with a very light stain and then I can be anywhere, anytime. But that is a purely personal choice and approach although inspired by others doing the same. Good luck! Jimmy

I then use a square ended Xacto blade to shave off the grass to make roads. https://woodlandscenics....s.com/show/item/1RGVM-GG

		Take care I like Marklin and will defend the worlds greatest model rail manufacturer.
