Rail heads in the concrete

The two points I ordered arrived today so they have been fitted and painted now. One on the main scenic board taking the total to 3, it makes it easier than keep swapping them around to work on different areas.

Vinyl tape has been applied to simulate the buried rail heads then given a couple of coats of clear lacquer to help seal it down.

 

On the other end of the layout the other new point has been fitted to the forward scenic section and the track painted.

The plan is to fit a backscene in front of the traverser, which will be about 12" high, with just sky on it, in front of the sky a very low relief retaining wall.

To disguise the hole in the sky for the entrance to the traverser an overhead pipe gantry that will have a vertical pie from it down to the floor at the front edge of the retaining wall.

John - every now and again Lidl do rolls of Aluminium sticky tape called Powerfix. I wonder if a narrow strip attached each side of the slot might work for simulated inset rails
