Update 11/18/15

The track has been on track. We recently made changes to the initial design and are now pursuing a new design. I believe the design would demonstrate more than the simple previous round track would. However the new track is needs more time to be completed and I am very confident it can be completed done by the end of the week. The new track will have the complete circular path, however at the first switch it will come down to ground level, as if pulling into a station to pick up a patron, then it will come back up to complete the lap. Also if time constraints or budget become an issue, this design can be cut down to a straight away and a slope at the switch pathway.
