Senior year of high school --- has definitely taken its toll.

Most of what I have completed was in the summer, but today I revamped the drop to my liking and the banked turn. It has approved quite much.

Progress will continue to be slow, but alas, I have at least some kind of progress.

As for you all, some quite choppy pictures that demonstrate what I have to offer:

Here is just all the room I have to use.

As for goals with this project, I hope to make this fully automatic with two, maybe three trains. Built with a station, two brake runs, and lift. Possibly have a track switch, I'm not really sure, but it all sounds fun. Looking to use a Raspberry Pi.

Also, would really like to knock out detail within the ride as much as possible. I might add catwalks if I have the time and if I can make them look attractive to the ride.

Would love to have you all involved with this build as well. I'm in the home stretch to getting that diploma!

Interesting drop-turn to start with. Vey thorough blue rod base structure as well which I can imagine takes a while to build a reasonable amount of. Should be really nice if you can get all the detail you want in.

I like the first drop a lot, it's very creative! This looks like it will be a fun little woodie.

Beautiful first drop - I’m in love with the style of it! This should be yet another fantastic woodie.
Just curious as to how your previous woodie planned out with the automation?
