So to get started. The base has two levels - one with the buildings on it, and a raised one with the tracks and platforms. The base sits on a platform that is lightly larger, and has a colored frame that encases the actual building base. This is tricky - I am building this first, including the cutouts and tabs that will anchor the buildings, and then will flip it over to add the egg-crate internal framework. The original had three large pages of pieces for each level - this one comes out about a foot long. The right most panel is a bit lighter than the others, but the actual color difference, at least to my eyes, is not as noticeable as in the photos.
