NICE WORK!!!! 
And see ... it wasn't all that tough ...
... and it was enough fun that you want to do it again!
And it'll be more fun and look even better the next time!
Hand laying used to be the thing that I started thinking about part way through dinner after a particularly difficult day of doing battle mentally (and verbally) with the M.E.'s when I worked at Sperry Corp.! It was my "relaxation therapy" that would bring me to a state of calm that would alllow me to actually go upstairs, crawl in between the electric sheet, the top sheet and the blanket and nod off (with someone to snuggle up against.)
Hand laying track was great fun and I got to the point where I just built them when I got to them, right there on the homosote roadbed, right on top of a Xeroxed copy of a turnout template from a book I have on track ... dere's nuttin' like it, Bubba!
