WILD WEST

Due to a black out I lost all my recent data including GOTCHA.
I'm really sorry but I started a new project:a wood coaster with millennium flyer trains which will feature more lifts,a funny theming and a final splash!
It's the first time that I pay attention on woodies...my intention is to create a great exciting attraction.
Layout is complete just on papers:In the editor I finished the beginning...here a pic

I always appreciate a decently made wood .... let me know if you need a tester.

Sure

This is an important update:layout is finished,heartlined and supported[xx(]colours are not definite,rails,ties and handrails will be dark brown.
Now I have to reinforce all the banked turns:I would like to do a nice and "real" work on it but I'm not an expert.
If someone wants to help me...[approve]

Millennium Flyer trains on steal?! It's original I can say that. I like the layout though.

Well,wood supports were horrible and with the simple structure,steel is the only solution.
But I'm not so convinced about trains....

that looks awesome, i cant wait

This is the final colour but....which kind of train is better?

PTC's, fits the steel structure better.

^ Wouldn't it be better with Flyer trains because of the laterals, but barone, choose what you want. I do not care whether either is used.

Watch for wheel hits with PTCs. You could always use Morgans if you wanted too.

Well 4 seats PTC has been the final choice.They fit better with that structure and I think also with the name of the ride!

ABOUT SUPPORTS:I'm getting really crazy with them 'cause I wanna do a good job.They're not complete but this is a first example:

This was the hardest part 'cause it's a fast banked turn;it's not closed in a cement tunnel so I decided to build a sort of wood structure that can resist to a heavy weight.It also produces a nice effect with the sun of the env.[8D]

About the second pic, IMO there is not enough lateral supporting, but good start.

Yeah the supports should start toward the tops of those wooden beams.

I'm doing exactly this one[lol]
Give me time and I show you the result!

Here's one side finished!
Stop for today...my eyes hurt 'cause they're hand made!!!!

imo the long outside bents should go out further.

Uhm I'm not sure...I built it looking at HADES pics...

Did you ride it?In this element trains reach a high speed causing a strong weight on track.
My element is a 90?????????cutback...the speed on the top is minor than at the bottom.

Yes I have ridden it and will again next week. Hmm, I have seem to forgotten that. Well good work so far.

First of all, I have to say that this looks extremly like fun! Second, I think the bracing is fine, maybe some more connections between the main structure and the bracing, but otherwise fine.

Oh well if you think about wood you're completely right!

Vid_w I have to add all the lateral connections but I'm too tired today....a shower,computer off and out with friends...

See You next week![:D]

UPDATE:Other parts of the track have been extra supported.
This work is near to end:

I also created a more detailed cartexture with a "light effect"

ABOUT SCENERY:these will be main buildings:

Wood color is too dark. Looks alot like stained oak.

Trackwork is complete with all reinforced supports:first tests OK!
I'm working on the scenery now:
