Well had the afternoon off so decided to attack the track and get the landscaping finished,Yes I have to fit some trees to it but those can wait till I get them.

So all the copper track was masked off prior to setting all the scenic scatter,this was done simply with diluted pva sprayed onto the scatter with an old household sprayer,In order for it all to adhere properly it was soaked well and truly,as it was so hot in the shed it was dry in less than half an hour.

After wiping all the excess Pva around the track and demasking the copper strip I simply used a dry brush with some brown paint to simulate mud on the tarmac,not only does this look the part but it has enhanced the grip but still allows the cars to slide.

Found this though might be worth a look for custom cars

I decided the track was to short so with 2 weeks to go to the blackpool show It is full steam ahead so to speak so an extra 8 feet are being added to the set up.All the sections simply bolt together so I can choose how long or short as neccessarry.

As I have remodelled my shed and finally got room to put the track up on a semi permanently and tere was a gap of 37ins a new board had to be made....the others were just for the Blackpool show.These were stripped bare so I could reuse them.
I decided a mountain scene was needed with some snow effects on it.....I started on the base board by glueing some wood to the underneath of the Mdf boards all cut to size...I then simply got the router and jig saw out and went to work......

A tunnel was needed to get the cars back to the other base board
