After taking a picture rail down its left the walls a little uneven would a thick lining paper disguise this or would it be best to rub it all down first? tia

I think you'd be very lucky not to see the creases through the paper. Simple polyfilla and a good going over with an electric sander would probably be best.

Thanks T B was hoping to avoid all the dust... ah well
How well the rub down goes will depend on the material used to plaster with. It may be best to get a professional skim the walls.

Walls are a little uneven anyway. When I removed the thick painted paper from my last place there was a raised area where the old picture rail had once been. That paper had worked for years making it less obvious before I opted to strip everything down and found out what the multitude of sins were.
As my old Dad used to say - preparation is 90% of re-decoration.
