What did you use to get the platform surface looking so good

Very interesting Thanks

I used their paving on the station platform on my loft layout. It distorted in the heat. It was glued to a piece of plastic as a base so I was rather surprised. I think it needs to be fully covered with adhesive over the whole surface.

That's an impressive mimic panel - What is the turntable control knob ? I've never seen anything like that before. Ned.
