Agreed. Automating the station would be better. I may not have time
to build the warehouse either...

We could just lay the track on the plates without sticking either the
straights or the curves to the plates. I saw this done on the photos

Yes, this would work too. IMO, scattered road plates don't really work,
but if there is an short road or two, it would look more completed.

That would be great. Dark green paint would work well,
and so could grey. Are you going to try to match the paint color?
