I've also been building the obligatory layout "junk pile" next to the engine house. It seems every layout has one of these details.
I used a piece of old flextrack removed from my last layout, cut in half, for the pit rail. I did my best to make it as circular as possible. There's no actual wheels riding on this rail, so it doesn't have to be perfect - just close enough for the eyes. The pit wall is a piece of stone patterned plastic I had leftover. The pit was ballasted with dirt from my yard.
