Bend Track End Module ~ Reworking a Module

Fortunately, an older module was available from someone in our club, so we didn't have to worry about the bench work part of creating a module, and we saved a lot of time there.  However, we will detail the bench work part of building a module in future entries. 

Below is an image of the module with most of the scenery removed.  we'll need to cut holes in the top to make room for the ravine and the mountain.  Long trains can struggle when presented with steep inclines, so to ensure smooth operation we are going to keep the track in this module completely level.  we are making cutouts for the mountain because we want to be able to easily reach trains that might experience problems in the tunnel and because we want to have easy access to the motors that we will to use for some of the animation that will appear on the mountain.
