They are on both sides. In the station you can see a

"garage door" looking thing, they just slide that up and move the train

forward into the transfer area, then close the door.

oh ok thanks tyrant. So now i have to make another

housing for another train...yippee...

[coastercrazy10]

OK, i worked a little today, i may do some later. I

got the tower bumped up a rod to accomodate for the transfer. I also got the central

part of the tower to its highest point(where the lift is). I have two pictures. One is a

straight-on view, the other is an angled one. The little rods sticking backwards are

supports for the inside tophat.

Damn, that's a nice support job you got going

there dude! Awesome so far!

[coastercrazy10]

^thanks. I got the launch run completed, tracked,

and tubed. I also connnected the station, added another storage building, and worked

some more on the tophat. Two more pictures.

I have a sort of retarded question... what are you

building again?

Whatever it is, it's looking mighty fine though

[coastercrazy10]

lol this is Mr. Freeze. I dont blame you for not

sifting through 20 pages though.

thanks BTW

That looks good, but the one thing I like most is the little

rollie dresser thing to hold all your K'nex. I've been looking for stuff to

hold my K'nex in and the cardboard box/ziploc bags situation isn't working

out too well.

[Toastermaface333]

The supports look very sturdy, and this looks

awesome so far. The supports look awfully familiar, like coasterfrk11's KK

supports.

[coastercrazy10]

^Yeah i made them after his KK.

Im

thinking that i need to buy some more peices, and what a perfect time to. Knex.com

has a 25% dicount on all individual parts, which means i can possibly order a new set

of tubing to replace my old cut up one, and buy some yellow rods for this beast. Im

going to work on the twist and hopefully finish that and still have some pieces...

EDIT: adam

if your interested in my organizing system take a look at this picture V

[coastercrazy10]

sorry for the double post but i have to say two

things.

1) adam i also put my extra things in my SS/RR boxes
2) I did

a little work today and i have a picture. Enjoy!

crazy

[Adam_Deux]

Yeah, I do that too. I just got my new grab bags

today!

That looks hella' nice dude. Good stuff.

[coastercrazy10]

biiiiig update tonight folks. I FINISHED the tophat.

Supports and all. I have two pics.

crazy

[Toastermaface333]

Niiiiiiiiiiiicccceeee!! its so smooth and

supported. i cant wait to see what the rest of this ride will look like!

[ChEtCoAsTa]

It's awesome! I thought it would be bigger

thoguh... but bigger isn't always better

Can't

wait to se ethis... this is going to be awesome

[Adam_Deux]

Wow, that looks awesome! Seriously dude,

that's a nice job you've done so far.

[coastercrazy10]

^well it IS to scale. If you remember

CoasterGeekRCT's scale it came to 1/24 scale. Since using 1/24 scale on this

ride would result in having to bulid outside, i used 1/12 scale...so thats why its a little

smaller.

BTW, its 5 foot 8

crazy

[Toastermaface333]

oh really? it looked smaller in the pics. i had no idea

it was 5 feet. Thats cool!

[tobsson]

Isn´t 1/12 bigger than 1/24. If I take a ruler and cut

them in 24 pieces they would be smaller than if I cut the ruler in 12 pieces. I may have

wrong because I´m really tired but I think not.

/the tired Tobsson

[Jogumpie]

You're right, it's smaller than the 1/24, so

it's 1/48. If it was 1/12, it would be twice as high.
