The section under the yard is flat, until it needs to start to raise again to reach the surface of the layout at each ends. If I can make a suggestion, since you are using a published plan, you could always buy the book it's featured in, especially considering that they give a step by step explanation on how to build the thing in that book. It could save you from a lot of headaches [;)]

Indeed, BUDLINER, this is a two-level layout. If you're wanting something flat, you might prefer something in the beginner/intermediate stage...

I'm not sure if that answers your question, if not, please rephrase your question because I found it pretty hard to understand, where do you see missing parts exactly?
