It would be interesting to see how they made the final closure.
They left out the hardest part of the job.... Bringing the end of the track together.
I do it by bringing the top section onto the drive sprocket, then stop and chain the section in place crib it up off the sprocket. Then drag the lower end of the track up onto the sprocket and rotate it into the correct position. Then take the cribbing out and let the top track drop into place, both ends on the sprocket.
