When you pull a trigger, the chain will release and start pulling the train with a high speed.
The old thread I started while I came up with that, DID include a full tutorial, but however, sadly, I lost the half of it when I got problems with photobucket.
This mechanism became most common as the "Jesper" launch (since my name is Jesper).
(I never asked for a name anyway, and I still think that one day, someone can come up with a better name for this instead of "Jesper launch" or "Jesper's Lauch").
I got a lot of private messages from members who want to know how this mechanism works, and where the rest of the tutorial is. I thought a lot of making the rest of it again, or just do the whole thing over. And last week, it happened!
So after some hours of shooting pictures and way more hours of editing, I, present to you, SSCoasters:
The Jesper Launch tut v2.0!
I hope that you understand everything of it and that you can see my effort I put in. Please, sit back and feel like a young noob again as I show you even the easiest steps to make. Enjoy.
