Recently made a new model that I called

CliffHanger, based of of a computer rendering of an S&S idea, I tried my best to

make one. It was quite strenuous though with problems but it works out in the end.

Hope you like it, please, tell me what you think.

I just watched the movie. That's a great

model! Looks like you got some trim breaks on there that would be a good

subject on a break tutorial. Keep those coasters and slick movie productions coming.

I have been thinking about making a

tutorial for those breaks for a log time because they are really great, well, this was my

first model to have those breaks and not just a u shape track to test them, as soon as I

get an hour or two I will fix out ALL the minor bugs and make a tutorial, hows that

sound. :-D

[live4bb21]

you have to do a brake topic on how that works... in

my opinion that is the most effective non chain brake i have

SEEN to date.

Edit:

Never mind i found it, im stupid, well it looks GREAT.

[CostaKid]

I just cant get over those brakes! Please make a

tutorial.

[joshg678]

they are pretty nice, but now that i look at it, its not

that hard to do, but w/e.

[Metalhead]

Those brakes are easy to make. I just made a set in

about 5 minutes.

[CostaKid]

I have tried to make a set myself but cannot get the

same effect as in the movie. Please help.

I'm glad you all wanna know,

just hold on, I hav'nt had much time the past few days but I will start working on

making a tutorial right now, I will work as fast as I can.

Sure some of you

say they are easy to make, but you don't know how much time goes into things

like this, a lot of time to simplify them so they ARE easy to build, lol. I'm just

trying to find out how to make them so you don't have to have precision

adjustments and stuff like that to make the clearances work, tryin to make it as simple

as possible, plus I got a little distracted with a spaztacular project, but I will save that

for later.

P.S. patience is a virtue

[live4bb21]

we know patience is a virtue but brakes save lives...

lol, if your gunna do it you might as well do it right.

[joshg678]

That is true.
Any new stuff on the coaster?

[Metalhead]

I didn't have to any any ajustments.

The last set had problems,

those are fixed and as far as I'm concerned the brakes I revamped are flawless.

I wanted to make it so you could open the brakes and the train could go backwards

without hitting anybrakes from sticking up. I am almost done putting the tutorial on my

website. Almost there!
