Right now it's just a drop, loop, and dive loop. Next will be a 0-G roll into a MCBR, and hopefully interlocking corks afterwards (which will probably be on the dive loop side) into the final brakes/station.
Because I'm lazy, here's a crappy picture from my laptop's webcam.
EDIT: Raising the dive loop didn't work out too well, due to those damned flanged wheels. It's like 2" taller now.

Definitely raise the dive loop. Try to shape it just a perfect as it is now but a little bigger.
It Looks Great though!

Well, I decided to finish it today so I don't get distracted from summer homework tomorrow (it sucks) and so I don't spend more time in the dreaded heat.
What I discovered this morning is that the floorless train doesn't make it over the loop anymore, nevermind the dive loop. However, an upside down invert train runs FLAWLESSLY. I swear, it's those stupid flanged wheels. But the inverted trains don't work on the Phoenix lift... so, instead of cutting the very nice long tubing for something that can't work, I'll just leave it there.
So now, instead of having a small, boring SBNO invert under my bed, I have an SBNO Beemer on my dresser!
(Cue the crappy webcam picture! There's not much to see, anyways, but you might see it later on.)
Now, it's SBNO - The Ride: Salvation Hawk on Fire!

I never tried the Phoenix trains, though, and apparently they use better plastic.

When do you think you will be selling the Phoenix cars separately? I'd love to get my hands on two more... especially to mix 'n match colors and stuff with the floorless train.
I'm still not going to extend the layout, though. Not much room on my dresser. And it works really nice for holding my stuff. But, by the time I start another one, I'll probably have a full Phoenix train and maybe more joints, since I actually was starting to run low. And I like those G (or H?) joints.

Is CD really worth all that money?
