Then it was time to add a powerfeed to the NZR track I'd made up. At the break in the track I filed away the oxidisation on the fishplates, and soldered hook-up wire to each rail:

And now the track's in place:
Here's the holes for the wires with the track in place:
Then back come the books to hold the track in place as the glue dried:
Finally, I painted the sides of the track using Humbrol enamel "rust" in Matt. I can't remember exactly what its number is:
