The green baseboard didn't fit in with my plans for a dirty, grimy urban scene. Keeping with the low cost theme, a scan of our paint tins revealed this lovely brown which was more in keeping with the grot I had in mind.

The track is code 83, reused form the last layout. The pointwork is mostly re-used Walthers. I was short of a couple of No 5 Lefthand turnouts, but I couldn't find any one with Walthers versions in stock, even on the interweb. So I tried out a couple of Peco code 83 jobs. They work very well and should look fine after some suitable weathering.

I had intended to use Kadee Delayed "Between the Rails" uncouplers, but even though this isn't intended to be a finescale layout I thought they didn't look too good. So I finally went for their "Under the track" version.
