I tried adding more banking to the top of the hill and the train rolled back. So Im not sure I can add more banking to the top of the hill. Maby because its strarted to get colder in our basement so it could be affecting the speed, but I dont really know.

Ok guys, My cousins are coming for thankgiving break so I'm not sure how much I'll get done. So I could get nothing done, or get a lot done. Also where should I add more banking, the top, middle, bottom? Go Buckeyes!

IMO, it should be banked a teensy bit more in the middle, where there's a gap in the crossties above a 45* connector. Other than that, the shaping's good.

You cant believe no one replied? What is that supposed to mean?

Looks good but with that height it is not very hard to make well shaped elements.

BTW, this "Nitro turn" is called a J-turn. But on this it looks more just like a turning drop.

Ok, I finished the turning drop and half the pullout. I think I might need to add more banking, but older style woodies usually dont have alot of banking. I'll let you decide.

Pullout may be the tiniest bit sharp but its great! Just put on a tiny bit more banking, then its perfect.

Thanks for the comment. I added a little more banking and continued it farther. But I still could use some name ideas.
