WOW! You certainly are on your way. If you read the detail of Bill's build, you should you need a at least a couple of artificial trees worth of branches - the kind that are installed individually - perhaps three.
I took the grandchildren that year to Lansdale, PA to see this tree on display. The grades are gentle enough that there is no problem with speed control. The Polar engine and 3 cars will be fine.
If you have not seen the videos, I can try to find them.
I believe Bill may have published the "how-to" in OGR Magazine.
You can contact them easily through the forum on by calling the store.
Way to show the doubters!
By the way, the flat area on top is for another train - you need a higher ceiling for that.
