    Train? Thoughts 2 - Stop the Insanity —Derek Raycraft
   Ok, no one seemed to balk at the last design, so lets go a little further. (URL) off we are still in cloud talk phase, we shouldn't think of anything as set. We should have a big jam session and work out the details. Second I know Jeff VW doesn't (...) (22 years ago, 25-Jul-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

     (...) I see a solution to this: Where do we see unpowered trains on hills? Iain and others, this should be obvious to you. Now, the solution I see, is to let the coaster experts get together and figure out a braking system for this section of track. (...) (22 years ago, 26-Jul-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

     (...) So, you're suggesting installing a track trim brake all the way down the shallow drop? Wow, almost sounds exactly like the Beast at Kings Island. ;) (URL) second drop on the Beast, the world's longest wooden roller coaster, is angled at 18 (...)

   (...) This is true, you would have to manage the train somehow on the way down. If Iain would like to try and make something to do this automaticly I say let let him go for it. (...)
