Looks efficiant(sp?), but for someone who is only a 6 month expert or so, this might not be enough. I would add more pics or steps if I were you. I know that you think its easy, and so do me, but if you want this to reach evetybody, including new builders to help them, I would take my advice. But you said that you were just bored, so I don't really expect you to do that.

That gap between each cross rail seems really wide, Does the train run over it smoothly?

^ It has to be wide enough for the train going in the opposite ways wheels not hit the track. I'm sure it's as close as he can make it.

^^^I Tried to make the tut as easy as possible (only made it 30 min) I don't really want to add more steps (The main reason i built this is so i can take apart my cross track then build it again when ever i want.) But if anyone can't figure something out then please tell me.

^^It runs pretty smoothly (And yes The tubing is as close as it can go) Here is a Video of a coaster (My coaster) with this cross track.

Extremely unrealistic, but I love it! Reminds me of those Hot Wheels kits. Doesn't seem to lose too much speed either. Definitely neato.

Well I my brain just hatched an idea! You could use this track vertically so it won't be as rough... I think.

^Don't be like that.
Dead threads are threads/topics that are older than a few months. We generally don't post in them unless the creator has an update of some sort.
