Hope this is helpful.

Thanks for the input. I know that the track work needs to be as good as I can make it.
Seems to me I have two options as to how to lay the track.
One way would be to lay it one circles worth of track at a time as I install each circle of roadbed into the supports. By doing it circle by circle I wouldn't have to deal with reaching into the limited space between the layers of the helix but I would still be working at the layout in somewhat awkward working conditions.
The other way would be to lay the all of the track on each circle of roadbed at the "workbench" leaving a gap of a inch or two at each end. The next step would be to install each circle into the supports, connecting each circle to the previous with a short piece of track.
Thoughts, please, from any and all - particularly from those who have done this before.
Thanks!
