Absolutely - the layout came off the wall to be painted, and I keep finding more reasons to delay that!

And I've finally gotten around to painting it!

Finishing up cutting slots for joints. The saw cuts a finer notch than the file pictured earlier.

Removing point masking:

Removing paint from rails (lesson learned - do this while the paint is still wet!). I used aluminum figuring it was softer than a dental tool or x-acto blade and would be easier on the rail.

Next up is ballasting and adding ties to the final two turnouts (as well as more joint bar detail).
