Got the yard tracks laid, wired and tested. Ran a couple different locos pushing & pulling six 40' cars through all the turnouts for a couple of hours with no problems other than having to fine tune a couple of the turnouts. Had to file the frogs down flat and open the flangeways on the frogs and guard rails a bit. The joint between sections also came out OK. The rail runs all the way to the joint on either side and uses a rail joiner slipped across the joint to line the rails up.

About the backdrop... After the paint dried it warped as you can see. I took another smaller section down and painted the backside and as expected it warped back the other direction but its not completely flat. May have to do something different with this...
