Next up was track laying. This was something that initally sounded simple, but which involved quite a bit of fiddling, cutting and testing. It was really enjoyable. I used a mix of Hornby track and Peco flexible track, the latter being donated by a very kind friend and colleague. I knew nothing about codes or different types of track at this point, so this might have not have been advisable - I guess we'll find out later!
I also purchased a roll of cork from my local (now deceased) model shop in Leamington, cutting the stuff to fit my track and smoothing the edges with ready-mixed wood filler. This was affixed with PVA. When dry, I gave the track bed a spray of Halfords grey primer before pinning it with track pins.
