Hello dear buiders!
I am about to build my first "classic" coaster (I have build a couple of micro coasters so far), but I struggle with finding the right scale for my coaster, as I hit one of 2 Problems: Either I make the turns too sharp and the train, doesn't make them or I build too big and I can't support the coaster good enougth, so I'd like to know from the more experienced builders:
How high/long should I build for my first coaster?
I plan on building something that doesn't have a very complicated track layout, maybe a basic loop or Immelman. Something short and simple, but I want to add/focus on either brakes or a station. Also I'd probably use that track as the "lubricating track", because my coasters loose speed very rapidly.
As for parts: I have a good ammount of them. Maybe not the hugest selection, but I'd say that it is quite big for starters.
