And the body panels have been given two (very) light coats of primer:

Almost done with the tracklaying:

I started with the short track pieces at the ends, aligning and gluing them into place with the sections bolted together. After the glue dried, I soldered the track ends to the screws. I then cut and fit the long piece in the middle, soldered feeders, slid joiners onto the ends and glued the piece down. After the glue dries I will slide the joiners into place and solder the joints.
Only 8 hours and 38 minutes left of this year now, but with a little effort I hope to be running my first train while it's still 2010..!
