I've been redoing one of the sketches, actually it was the left-most sketch. That one sketch is based on this picture:

It's obviously a Top Thrill Dragster recre. Nobody has done it before and it would be incredibly original with a super interesting layout.

I worked on a couple of those sketches and put them in the right order. This should make sense now.

Now I'm confirmed. Wooo.

Your drawings are pretty nice. My engineering design teacher would be impressed with this.

Neat sketches gump! You made a great choice by chosing for a combination of boxes and tubes. Great to see this will be so well-prepared :)

I figured that having boxes as a 'backbone' would help enormously. The advantage of being able to support your track everywhere is just so necessary for a project like this.

Oh, another one:

I counted 20. About 14.5 feet, and this is without a base.

He could be using a blue rod base rather than yellow though.
