We've made the corners by connecting the 3x4' sections across the ends of the sides. This is one spot the track will cross the joint at an angle. We plan to flatten the curve out on each side of the joint to reduce any alignment problems. We will not be using bridge rails. We will fasten the sections together (using alignment pins) then securely fasten down the track. Afterwards, we will cut the rail using a thin razor saw. Since the sections will be transported in a protective rack, we don't expect any problems with the track rails getting bumped. From the closest edge in the picture of the lower level, the first track will be a short display siding which will be used for future expansion. The next two tracks will be the inner and outer main lines, the rear-most track will be original Flyer track used as a display track for the operating accessories. It will end just inside the tunnel. The closest track on the upper level will be the point-to-point track and the next track in will be a run-around siding for DCC operations (a change made since the mock-up was built.) The inner-most track will be the upper loop.
