wow, that was freaking awesome . I like how you explained it in such detail. You can only appreciate something once you understand it . Thanks for sharing your creativity
Nice work, mate. I will be having a coaster day later this year. Travelling to Western N.C. to see family and Dollywood is on the list of things to do.
Believe it or not, my very first "roller coaster" model was a pair of garden hoses running parallel from a table to the ground then over some bricks. I used golf balls for the cars. LoL A good starting model that is super customizable is CDX Blocks. Hope you build something awesome!
Hi!!! Yes, I believe it was car number two. I believe your up-stop blocks were made of plastic... Are there may have been an incident. One of the plastic blocks may have cracked during that incident. Parts of it might have never been recovered to this day. Maybe. Yeah.... I had to make up stop dogs for car number 2 at one point. But, knowing it can be done helped me go forward with a train full of them.
That is some seriously tiny work you've done and I can appreciate how delicate those bits and things you're using. So, I purchased a digital microscope to do detailed electronics work and it's the only way I can do some of the things these days. I got one of those $250 jobbers that Adam Savage recommended on his channel, the Andonstar AD249S-M and it works for my purposes, I'm not crazy about the base and stand that limit it's reach, I need a better stand for it that gives me clearance. I can say that it's a lot better than one of those large lenses on an arm. I might need to find a "real" version of this.
LOL 😂 "UP STOP". I didn't know what you were saying at first and then it clicked. It "stops" it from going "up" and off the track. I'm on board. I'm watching it again. Cheers 🥂
