Morning guys, thanks for all the nice words! I know I have more cutting and fitting to do buy hope to have it fitted in today. Chris a. brought up a wonderful idea of laminating 2 1/2" pieces together to give me a stronger roadbed where it is not supported by the bench work under it. I would buy I am out of plywood, so I plan on trying to make a steel "C" channel to support as I have some just laying around. Just takes some cutting and welding to bake the bends! LOL Wish me luck!
I hope everyone has a great Saturday and fun with there layouts!

Mike- If you add some sort of side to the curve it would add some rigidity to the ply. If you have any masonite or thin plywood, glue it to the side and that should give you added strength. Plexiglass would even work. Maybe you can incorporate this into a finished truss bridge like you did on the other side of the layout.
