Thriller stands 6 feet 10 inches tall. It will need over 8,000 parts to build it. If you know anyone who would like a blaster and a front ad back section of a train let me know. I do not need those for any ore construction, ad I would like to trade them for parts. Anyways I am trying for my very first time to try beam supports. They seem hard to mount of the track and not very sturdy which is why I always have thee sections of tube and at least three sections of rods for the track. I am having some trouble using the grey rods for the track. The track has a small little bed wherever one of the grey rods bend. I would like all advice. I will have a stand with all the switches. The layout will be a loop followed by a cobra roll. Then a camelback hill and f I still have enough momentum I will include a batwing. My main problems are space and parts. There will 2 trains. I already have my first 5 cart train.

I like your station and the details, but your lift looks not so good. I would suggest to make the lift smaller. I would also make the pullout bigger and you should get rid of the small bump right before it drops.
Hope I could help:)

My biggest suggestion would be, like Yannick said, make the pullout bigger, it will look better and help conserve speed. I could nitpick but I want to see where this goes so please continue on. :)

Your problem is parts, thus your lift is 6 foot 10... If you're building with tubes for your first time and having trouble, I would start much smaller. But since you're this far, I would make your pullout larger.
I really love your station though :)

Those parts you plan to trade, you are gong to want to keep. Eventually you will need them, trust me.
