Oh, It's name is Golden Rod by the way. There is a back story I may explain later but I'm too lazy to right now.

This looks like smooth shaping all throughout, so well done indeed, Cart. A question, though: how did you take off the nose of the orange train? I've been wanting to do that for years but I haven't figured it out. Do you just use that one part from the RR car that slides out? Oh and the station is pretty snazzy, too.

Originally I just took a hack saw and cut off everything except the bottom most part of the nose cone. I was left with the little flat part and I just spray painted it black. Now, however, I do just use the RR piece.

I agree, that looks like smooth shaping and really nice tube supports. I love coasters with a sturdy base. It makes your tube supports solid and is easy to move around the room (not to mention you can play with the terrain too).

You know what's awkward? None of the K'Nex rods are golden...

That's a nice little coaster with some good shaping! I want to hear the backstory now..

Thank you! It's honastly pretty amazing to me that I haven't had a negative comment yet!

Holy crap! Steel commented on my thread! Thanks man! It was really my first time building with tubes from the start of a build and I wanted a solid base. It used up 98% of my granites I'd say so there are yellow and (get this) golded K'nex rods in there if you look hard enough.

Thanks! The final turn is actually pretty bad. I've been meaning to go back and smoothen it out for the past month or so.

Thanks for all the positive responces guys! However, I don't remember saying this was only one coaster...

Hmmm... What could I have in store for all of you here...

You can replace the front wheels with the back wheels from a Rippin' Rocket train.

I see the golden rod now!

 

Hmm... could it be a woodie? A custom RMC? A massive Son of Beast recreation?
