Spring 2018, Week 14: Completing the Track

In addition to completing the straights, I also bent the curves for the last curved section, all while Kevin completed the last switch section. On Wednesday, Bryan and I finished assembling a complete track, as seen in Figure 1.

This as been a long, exhausting process, but it feels great finally seeing our track completed. All that is left is to ensure that the bogies have no problems binding around the track.
