"Build a Better B&M" Contest - RESULTS pg11

Should be done by the deadline...I think...ha. Lots of work to go but the real hard stuff is done.

I'm pretty much done, just waiting for Sunday.

Maybe add some trees, but that is about it.

I'll be turning something in for once, the supports will have to be rushed but I managed to finish a halfway decent track over break.

@cjd: I've send you the track

Phew... with the last week-and-a-half of completely dead activity, I was beginning to think that I wasn't going to get any entries at all.

Sobek, your entry has been received.

Oh jeez, I haven't even been able to download a template. Gah, school sucks.

I might actually finish something up!
I'm working on the layout, got about 3/4 done...

Will I get disqualified, if I don't follow the General rules?

Um, Yes. That's kind of the point.

Awesome track.

^Indeed, but with only two trains I'm worried you might not get the capactiy over 1200 rph

I calculated it to be at around 1300-1400 based on the formulas CJD used in the 2006 NLT.

Care to share those formulas?

I start in the second train. As soon as it departs the station, my clock starts. Then once it completes the circuit and starts to leave the station again, my clock stops. Then I divide that number into 3600, and multiply by the number of trains and the number of riders per train.

[hyyyper]

Use that formula (3600/circuittime)*2*32 gives Jake a capacity of 1124 rph.

I use (3600/dispatch time)(32 riders)and I get 1371.

Lets just let CJD run HIS contest.

Just finished the trackwork!
And I got a capacity of 1843!
And counting, that I measured the time on a misfortunate circuit, and the train stacked a bit...

Also, Jake, how did you make those colour transitions, they are super smexy!

I did a little bit of calculation on Jakes track to, and I used the dispatch time tingy(how long it takes for the next train to leave afther the one before it left.) It took 1:39 before the second train left afther the first one, and it took 1:46 before the 1the train left afther the 2th left. But to keep it nice I'll use the 1:39.

-60x60=3600 seconds per hour
-1:39=99seconds
-3600/99=36.36363636
-36.36363636x32=1163.

And that is in the best case, probably its even lower..Sorry jake, you kind of failed on the PPH Still, awsome track!

Hey man, calm down, no need to react like that all of a sudden. Of course we're letting cjd run the contest.
Anyways, your dispatch time might be set on 84 secondes, it doesn't mean the dispatch interval is 84 seconds aswell.

EDIT: My track is up aswell:

I wasn't yelling at anyone, I was just saying.

You guys are the ones who started attacking my ride lol.

[hyyyper]

I wasn't attacking, I just noticed, and mentioned the immense dispatch time, and then the ball started rolling.

Merry Christmas

Sorry that I block my ride to run realistically...I have never seen a B&M dispatch faster than a minute other than Apollo's Chariot.
