The rain stopped early so I set to in case it came back. I needed to put some connections in for a feeder before I screwed the track down. As mentioned earlier, the track is mixed bag of S/H stuff - mainly 900mm lengths but with a handful of 300 pieces towards the current railhead.
I love LGB track for its patina when weathered (don't think the AML - or Aristo for certain - can beat it) but also like Aristocraft's mechanical connections even if they are a bit fiddly. I like how the sleeper panel is secured by two 2mm screws underneath and all my electrical connections are made via these screws.
As I had decided to used all the brown sleepered track at the front (nearest the drive, I swapped over the Aristo rails in a 300mm piece of LGB so I could use the screws underneath. I used some 3mm terminals - ex-Maplins a few years ago - some good quality (Oxygen excluded?) wire and a "belt and braces" of a little heat shrink. The pics...

Feeder leads ready for connecting to main feeder (when that cable is eventually rolled out)
After that, I screwed the track down and also inserted single sleepers under the rail joints where required - I just pare the plastic rail clamps away on one side (furthest away from viewing side) and bend the other half so it fits over the rail joiner.
