When did you steal Gump's K'nex?

Wow, just wow. I'm liking your attention to detail, and your shaping is great! Keep going!

Also, do you have space for this monster?

Haha, thanks! As for space, i'm not sure exactly where i'll set it up yes, but i'm hoping to be able to get it displayed somewhere(if they'd have a big enough space for a 50 ft coaster. ;))

^Maybe he was only counting middle cars? 11 middle cars means he has 11 SS sets.

^^Haha he said he forgot one of the middle cars, so there are actually 12 middle cars :P.

I really really really really really want to see the coaster run with all those cars. The transfer track looks nice and smooth! Are you going to set it up to operate automatically?

Wouldn't it be cool to run all of those cars? :P Ha Ha but seriously though, this is looking great! The best wooden coaster that i have ever seen. I like it the way it is but are you going to make the transfer track automatic?

Thanks! And as it was already stated, I actually have 12. ;)

Thanks! I was hoping to be able to have it displayed, but if not, it'll just have to be outside, unless I can get my brother's boss to let me set it up in the old auction barn/skating rank that they're fixing.

I really really really really really want to see the coaster run with all those cars. The transfer track looks nice and smooth! Are you going to set it up to operate automatically?


Thanks! I'm it'll probably just be left as a manual. And we'll see on making it run with all them cars. ;)

Yes, it'll be finished, unless something horrible happens.

Anyways, this is sort of an update, and sort of needing your guy's opinions again. First the station. Not much was done on it, but I still wanted to show it.

Now for the opinions. I was wondering which railing you guys think would look better on the coaster. Option 1(1st pic) or Option 2(2nd pic).

I prefer option 1, it looks closer to the level of railing on real woodies and it doesn't obstruct your view of the track.
