finished and tracked and is running smoother than ever!
A sign to a sucsessful
coaster!!

I just made the crossties as straight as possible and
then just put the tubing on.
Hey, is't the easy way! Am I
right?

One thing that I do when I want to make a smooth
track is to put some purple tubing through the hole and make sure it flows well.....
If that made any sense....

hopefully, because I have been waiting ever since I
joined this sight to get the software to post pics. Well tomorow I have to go with my
dad to get 3D card for my computor because I got 2 new computor games, Links 2003
and Worlds Greatest Coasters 3D, and they both require that card to play the game so
hopefully my dad will let me gat the software too.
Does that help

The logo is cool but why didn't you crop the
picture so there isn't all this black space at the bottom?

I rode the Whirlwind at Knoebels and I thought it is an
interesting layout design. I look forward to seeing your model. It sounds like it will be
great.
