One question, though.  I'm not too well versed on track, but how did you get
all the curves in the track done (i.e. curving up and down?)

Glad you liked it. :)  The up and down curves are 4.5V track layed on its
edge so that the normal tops of two rails face each other.  When you use
curved track, the sides are now the tops and are now curved.  4.5V track has
an advantage over 9V track in that the rails can be removed from the ties,
so I can get a good clean rail surface to ride on.
