I might have some photos. But, I do have

the memories of monopolizing it during Coasterthon ERT. There's nothing fancy

about it. A simple structure with a flat roof would do.

Here's a view taken from the Oil Derrick. I

hope this helps you. As you can probably tell, there's nothing much to it.

Well, Hurricane Sara (my dog) has halted construction

for all this time. Now, It is back and better than ever. I have the first loop done. I have

an off day tomorrow, so I hope to finish the second loop tommorow. Enjoy the

pic!

Go Broncos!

That turn around is beautiful, and smooth is always a

mega plus. Do you have your train cars oiled up, because I think you could make the

loop just a bit larger. Gorgeous ride, my friend. I am jealous.

It is oiled up, but it was oiled up a long time ago. The

WD-40 is probably wearing off. I wouldn't want it any larger, because i have it

scaled perfectly to the height and such.

Go Broncos!

I think that is just the angle. Here is a better pic of the

loop.

The loop is a bit mishapen on the right side of it in the

pic but it is smooth, none-the-less.

It seems that I don't have the room to finish this

model. So, I am going to modify it one of two ways.

Way One: Reverse

the third turn around and everything after it. The result will look somthing like

Hurricane but with two loops thrown in.

Way Two: Leave one vertical

loop and instead of second loop, a cobral roll. Then a couple of turns into the station.



Which one would you want me to do?

Go Broncos!
