color matched to original paint so has a new look vs. worn, did this by uncovering areas that had been protected from dirt, etc. Using original Lionel grass helps alot as well. Was able to use all of original track but did replace switches and a few pieces of track lost. New bus bars (I make those out of some really big sheets of tinned sheet metal I have and rewiring (all original was gone) as done originally and will have operating block system Lionel used to run two trains on the large lower loop. Temporarily put the power to it last night prior to starting mountain repair and neat to see it running again in who knows how long!
