I spent a few hours actually working on the layout rather than running trains and doing wiring (that does not show in public).
Road sub-base installed
I place the location of the main road before applying the ground scenery; this way the road is solid and more easily raised to the track level. The lines indicate extreme edges of the shoulders, and the future drive-in cinema.
Another road, another corner.
The extremity to the right is the driveway for the farmhouse, and the base for the house is behind the driveway. A roadside general store will be on the opposite side of the road, but I did not have the structure on hand to set the base.
Track re-alignment
The track in the area of the white pins had a kink where it connected tot he turnout, so I loosened it with wet water and managed to get it aligned how it should have been. The cork was now no longer under the track, so I had to place a small piece under the track to correct this.
