Past Photos - Year 2000!

Tonight I uncovered some photos out of a dusty box.  This was my first attempt at building a working model coaster.  Go ahead. Laugh it up. Ha.

I believe I started by creating a huge sheet of paper from a shit ton of 8 1/2 x 11 sheets taped together.  I know, genius. I traced out my track design by what felt good, then the build began!


Creation of the train station.


I believe I was using HO scale model railroad brass for rails.  If I remember correctly I had challenges of bending the track to match my needed curves and dips.


Haha. Anyone remember the first K'nex roller-coaster......again Genius!






Looks like I was more interested in painting the structure than I was finishing it or having it work!


Nice bents.  Not sure why there is a drumstick on the table.




Gosh I'm glad this got torn down. It's horrid!
