Trolley Loop - Track Yard

We know what we want to do. We know what we need to do it. Now, lets see if we can find that piece that is just right. Much like a mother bird looks for that just-right stick or twig we look for the right rail to fit our needs.





Ahh, here's one that should work.
Now, to pick it up with out disturbing any of the other pieces.

It reminds me of a game that I played when I was very young called Pick-up Sticks. The object was to pickup one piece without moving any of the other pieces. Here, if you do it wrong, it might fall on your foot.
With a little help the piece is picked up and moved to that special place so that it can be moved to where it will be needed.
