Finally got the track laying finished.

 As can be seen I managed to get the concreting behind the new station area Laid as this is were I intend the Oily Rage Pub to be located 

As for track laying I usually use a small amount of grease in the fishplate before connecting up

Now comes the tricky bit,   drilling and taping out the hole.

This is done with a 1.6mm drill followed by a 2mm tap.
