Rail
Sleeper.
A rusted spike grips a sleeper split along the grain. Pale ballast stones catch in the gap beside it.

The old goods siding.
Take a short length of track and the whole palette is there. The sleeper's grain pulls the colour lengthways, while the little stones break that direction into short, pale marks.
Give a rail museum’s object label Sleeper Heart lettering on Ballast Chip. Use Spike Oxide for the year of manufacture.
