Or what about solid black minifig heads? OR would they just congest the
contraption?

Hmm, lets drop some in when Dave's not looking and find out.

That sounds like a great idea!

Shhh!!  He'll find out!

Waittaminit...

A few more videos uploaded--basically the bottom loop--

http://sparky.i989.net/ltrain/palisade_villa_003.mpg

They're basically both the same--the first is smaller (30 meg) and shouldn't
make you as dizzy watching it.

Everything is there, except the unloading mechanism--that's where I use the HOG!

I'm trying to come up with a good unloading routine--the train just goes way too
fast at this time--I'll probably add a wye with an 'unloading station', but the
more you overthink the plumbing... (as Scoty used to say)--I'm very wary 'cause
that entire bit is going to be inside the mountain--not easily accessible.

Eh, we'll see what happens.
