I would say your speed is pretty good, I just checked and that's how fast Mammoth lost speed too.

ok i have a bit of bad news....it doesnt make it anymore :( i hae tried everything t get it to work but i doesnt make it over the second hill. so i am, once again, going to start over. i dont know what keeps happening, but for some reason the train just stops working well about halfway throught construction. this is the second time. i think i am gonna try a different train this time. i probably wont start building until wednesday when i have off. sorry to anyone who was looking forward to this.

If you haven't alreaady taken it down, try this:

Make a track segment about twice the length of the train and put the train on it. Hold the train up to a heater (wheels toward the heater) and slide the track up and down through the train for a couple minutes. After that, whip the track through the train and give it a go on the coaster. It produced fabulous results for me. Hope it works for you!

Welcome to the forums Lukiemaster. But this is called a "dead thread". Its when there havet been posts in a month or two and dont need any more post. I cancelled this woodie about a month ago so it isnt up anymore. Before you post in a thread, look at the date of the last post, if its older than a month, then its a dead thread. Just letting you know for future so you dont get bashed by other members, not trying to be mean. And again, Welcome To SSC!!!
