Plain track is C&L flexitrack purchased via EMGS stores and once the P&C work was completed the whole layout quickly got its ballasted track down and fixed.

First viewed from the hidden siding area

and then from the opposite end

Track at the ends of baseboards is rather vulnerable to damage and to strengthen things up a bit at such places I pin and glue copper laminate sleepers and aim for solid, soldering of rail to these:

So now all the tracks down and ballasted it remains to add point operators of some description and make a start on wiring. That's for next time.
