I have pictures in a box in my closet that I took with a 110 camera. Off the
top of my head...
First looping coaster went down the stairs and through a clothoidal
inversion.
Second used rails on their side for the loop, shuttle coaster - large drop
with cable-lift, through the loop, around banked turn and back up the lift
(so the train reversed each time...)
Third was a giant inverted coaster shuttle I did, cable driven, using a
box-beam type track structure
Um... I did a LOT of coaster projects when I was younger! Geting the train
to articulate properly was the most fun (roll axis on lead axle, then
trailerd cars after that).
