Hello, since last time I've made a woodie I think I have improved.

 

Tell me what you think?

 

[rgarner42]

Yeah, I think you have too. 

The track looks a lot smoother than on your last coaster, can't see anything obviously wrong in the video, it looks good. I like the laterals you've added too, they're a nice touch.

 

The train sounds quite loud though, have you used silicone spray or something similar on them?

 

I'm looking forward to seeing how this progresses, but upload a couple of photos with the next update.  

 

 

(oh and that 'music' is beyond annoying...)

Looks incredibly smooth, and I love the first element. If the rest of this coaster is done just as well this will be a great woodie. Good luck!

This looks really nice so far - huge improvement! Only thing is as rgarner42 said, your trains do sound like they haven't been lubricated in a while/at all so I would recommend using silicon spray (works best in my opinion. Otherwise all good!

[frank]

I just lubricated my trains 2 days ago.  I think it's cause I increased the volume to 200% because I was quiet for some reason.

Not bad, quite smooth.  It does seem that the pullout between the first drop and the turnaround is an inconsistent radius.  Make sure both sides of the transition are the same, as it is just a straight drop into a hill.

I think one of the Youtubers I watch uses that music at the end of their videos. Can't remember which one though. Interested to see where this goes. I like this rush of coasters that's just popped up. One every day for the past few days

thanks but I don't get how it has an inconsistent radius, I will posy pictures today or tomorrow and you could show me were.

Thank you, for the train that sounds loud like I said might be because of the volume increase on the video

thanks, I made the next element just as smooth. (hopefully)

I like the layout so far! The only thing I see wrong is that there is a sharp spot in the second part of the turnaround, followed by a straight spot, but the double up is quite nice!

[sean9782]

The double up is perfect! My only critique is in the 4th picture, there is a gap in your crossties. Other than that this is amazingly smooth!

[G Force]

The 2nd crest of the turnaround is rather sharp, otherwise its not bad.  A few bumps here and there but nothing too noticeable.

[rgarner42]

Looks decent to me. Not too many noticeable bumps. 

 

I would look back over the rest of the layout and try to spread out the x-ties more evenly there are a few places where the gaps are quite noticeable. Including the 2nd half of the turnaround which could do with a bit of smoothing out too.

 

I like the layout so far.

Am I the only one unable to see the pictures? (Just a photobucket message asking me to upgrade my subscription?)

[frank]

well, I Knew this was gonna happen now we cant use Photobucket to upload anymore :/ everyone who used Photobucket is going to have those pictures. 

 

Really sucks

[FrIeDeGgS]

We'll just have to use the gallery on here or something like Imgur or flickr now.

[frank]

[rgarner42]

Looks good, Frank. 

I like the layout. I hope you can get it back to the lift with the little height you have left. 

I can't give any constructive advice though without photos. 

[Muzz135]

This reminds me of some of Fraggie's builds - it's very nice! Lovely shaping and good layout

[FrIeDeGgS]

You've improved a long from your past coasters! It's really nice to see a woodie like this since it feels like we haven't had one in a while.
