Given that I am even too cheap to pay for cheap plastic track the hardstanding area hasnt even got any track !!
Step 1
Build up the baseboard to the under rail height (1/2" ply)
Step 2
Add some strips of 1/4" ply to create a rail edge
After checking a wagon rolled well in the newly create "rails"
Step 3
A further strip of plywood between the rails, some extra ply outboard of the rails to extend the concrete area, then dark brown paint in the rail groove, and a combination of 3 grey paints for a start of a concrete look.
At some point the rail top silver paint will be continued along the wooden edge so it doesn't look like the wheels are running on concrete !
On a different note I have also just ordered a sound card that is suitable for DC running or in my case battery running, its a company based in Australia that have just released the cards for generic steam or diesel, and retail at around ??35 with speaker a (exchange rate dependent)

Well worth a look !
