More work on the layout this weekend, specifically on the yard loop. I built and installed a drawer for the controller; I also put hardboard fascia around the layout too. Layout fascia is Masonite hardboard, smooth side out. I filled the joints with a few different things, depending on the gap size: wood filler (DAP plastic wood); or latex caulk for the narrower gaps. My carpentry skills aren't that refined (or I'm just too lazy to sweat every inch) so it's not flawless; but I do believe that a good coat of paint will cover a lot of sins!
