New Scenic Layout

Having seen some excellent slot car tracks with scenery I've decided to add some decoration to the layout in our attic room.

First job is to improve the base with a coat of paint so the old track had to be taken apart.

I've drilled some extra holes to be able to thread electrical cables if necessary.  I temporarily filled them with tissue while painting to stop the paint dripping through.

I also made a gap in the middle of the front edge of the tray to get easier access to the power base and added a lip under the tray to add back some support.
