Is it just me, or is this pretty much an exact copy of you other woodie (forgot the name, sorry) except for the last part?


EDIT: I just realized this, but why is there a tire drive at the top of your crest? Why not just normal side-by-side gears? Just curious. Maybe they have better traction...

[SwimZONE]

That's not a tire drive, it's a micro K'nex gear. he must be using it as a gear, that is assuming he has no more gears...

Anyways looks good, but it still looks a lot like chipper...

[knexems]

There different.

[Fraggie]

^^^only the first hill is the same. and this one is taller. and the gear is a micro gear. i use that because it is thinner so that the wheels on the train dont hit it.
^^i dont think it looks like chipper anymore.
^thanks for the comparing pics.
keep the comments coming and i will post more pictures later.

[Fraggie]

ok here are some updates. any name suggestions? please comment.

^it looks like there are a lot of bumps in picture but i think it is just the angle.


the only thing that you guys are probably going to say is to fix the straight part. after the second turning drop and it goes back under, the hill is just straight. but i couldnt fix it so that is how it is going to have to stay.

[G Force]

Try making the 2nd turning drop steeper and have it go to the ground, then go into a small ejector hill under the 1st turning drops pullout. I think that would look better and make for a better ride.

But if you dont want to change it, I guess it looks ok.

Cool!
I have a weird name sugestion: Wood Spliter

[Fraggie]

^^ i will try that
^ and any name suggestion is fine, i will probably put a poll up once i get a couple more suggestions.

[DeAzncy]

ahhh... you rushed the end.... it looks pretty bad. the first half of the coaster looks fine.

[Chubs33]

That turn should have more banking, too. I agree with what everyone else said.

[Fraggie]

^^ you think it is that bad?
and i will get pictures up later today of the fixed turn nd the ejecor hill bacause i have a snow daye

[Kool Coaster Kid]

Cool! I have a snow day too! Cant wait to see the pics!

[Fraggie]

I have a snowday to! looks good

[Fraggie]

almost done just finishing up the station. but first, tell me what you think of the hills before the sation. and also i am still taking name suggestions, i only have one.



here is what is next

[Millcreek47]

i like it. could you make your train one more car longer or weight them, theyre barely getting through the layout.

[christian]

^ I agree. It kind of looks weird with a little 3-car going around a layout like that. Everything else is perfect!

i started with five cars, and i t worked fine, but for some reason it doesnt work now. i tried four and that didnt work. so three works. i already hav like 30 pennies on the bottom. and arent the trains supposed to go slow over the crests?
