Second part (didn't know I'm limited to 5 photos per post).
Power to the track is needed, so I removed some ties and soldered on feeders to the underside (note that this is my first ever soldering job and I only managed to melt one tie - not bad):
Discovered I need another access hole - since the "fascia" is made from cardboard, I simply used a knife to cut another hole, hinged at the bottom:
Temporarily tack the track in place, determine where to cut (yellow tape):
Once the track is cut, let's check things out - oops, we seem to have superelevation but in the wrong direction :oops:
Fixed by adding some wood shims underneath the outside rail:
