new [Only mods are allowed to see this link] are in

[Only mods are allowed to see this link]
supports for the upper reverse loop of phase 3, using metal rod in place of the beefy wooden supports because the wood supports would interfere with the train operation

[Only mods are allowed to see this link]
traditional wood support for the remainder of the line before the new drop bridge goes in.

[Only mods are allowed to see this link]
last piece of line before the new drop bridge in place before being secured.

[Only mods are allowed to see this link]
supports and last piece of line before the new drop bridge secured in place.

what's left to do is the new drop bridge, and the line beyond that, as well as the helix and the reverse loop which will tie back into the upper line somehow, but that has yet to be worked out.

not too sure where you're getting that "kick" from Brandon, but model railroading is quite fun and I for one am very glad that I caught this bug.

it's really amazing how a fraction of an inch can throw everything off, it really is, because the case of my gopro has a tab on the bottom which allows it to slide and secure into mounts, which i will have to show you all so you know what i am talking about, but i can't add the mount onto the depressed center flat car because it will make the COG too high and the car will tip over, but i will do what i can to bring you all with me on the helix, but the loop is pretty self explanatory.

As of 12/25/15, the following additions have been made to the train set:
3 new steam locomotives
2 industrial buildings (a pickle factory as well as a generic one)

I forgot to mention this on 12/5/15, but the setup has a 3rd railroad station along with some merchandise stores and a footbridge. It also has platform/street lighting, but the set hasn't been installed and wired up as of yet.
