coming along very nicely, keep up the good work.

TRAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

Awesome. . .you're using a

weight drop launch? I guess I missed that.

Looks good so far.

[coasterfreak11]

That looks great! Once you paint it, it will look

even better!

BTW, I have the shirt!

Tonights construction was mainly focusing on the lifting

system.. Early in the afternoon, I built the lamest manual lifting hand crank out there.

So I trashed that because it looked horrible, and I hate things to be manual.

So I got out a pen and

paper and came up with a simple, yet effective lifting system. And came up with

this:

A side view: (This

system can also allow me to drop the weights at many time I want to)

Will the weights drop fast enough to launch the train

at a good speed? It sounds like a neat idea but it will be the neatest when it works.

[sixflagsfreak56]

If it dosn't drop fast enough, I'll keep adding

weights til it does.

[Ace o Spades]

Good idea. But please explain how you can drop it

more than once?

[sixflagsfreak56]

It's hard to explain.

Update (well

worth waiting for)

can't understnaad the lifting mechanism... oh well, still looks good and i'll

take your word for it. awesome job man!

[coasterfreak11]

That's awesome! Once you paint it it will

look twice as good!

[Swimming24-7]

I have one question. What will use for the cars?

Other than that this looksrealy good!

[sixflagsfreak56]

I"m using sheet plastic to make the cars.

[cotton_eye_joe92]

I think you mean TRANSITION. I like it so far but I

still think that the Knex don't fit...even if they are painted.
