(...) It was designed to be modular - each section is 16x16, and drops either 2 bricks (straight) or 4 bricks (corner). I carried it all in flight luggage, each part wrapped in tight cling-film (plastic food wrap) and I'm amazed the curves held (...) (18 years ago, 29-Mar-07, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

(...) Well, we could create a GBC wall standard . . . that's a lot of plates I don't have. :) (...) Oh, of course! I didn't think of those. (18 years ago, 29-Mar-07, to lugnet.technic)

(...) When my parents gave me this book in the mid 80s I wanted to build this truck. Just like you I only had the 8860 car chassis and I bought a used 8859 in ´95. But in the second half of the 80s I used the boogie lift for two of my truck models (...) (18 years ago, 29-Mar-07, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

(...) Thanks! I actually got the idea when I displayed a not-yet-working prototype coaster on the NELUG train layout last weekend. We posed the "broken" coaster in our amusement park with a working monorail (Airport Shuttle) running through the (...) (18 years ago, 29-Mar-07, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

(...) It's a neat design, and I like the idea of using monorail track to do smooth loops. 4ft is a hell of a lift to make out of LEGO though! I'd be happy with something smaller, even if it meant going without the loop. Have you thought of fitting (...) (18 years ago, 29-Mar-07, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

I have designed a minifig-scale roller coaster that can run on standard monorail track. Each car can carry up to four minifigs around a loop, and the cars can run independently or linked in pairs. (I haven't tried longer trains yet...) (URL) There (...) (18 years ago, 29-Mar-07, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.announce.moc, FTX)

(...) I really like the minifig bulldozing the balls off the circular track. It's very clever. So is the oil derrick. I also like the wall you erected around the layout. Every GBC should have one of those! In the video what is that wavy red thing (...) (18 years ago, 29-Mar-07, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

(...) Absolutely! :-) (...) I thought about that when you said so before, but then I thought it was better to keep the tracks rigid, otherwise the tension might vary in the round ends, requiring good control of the tracks on the straight part. I (...) (18 years ago, 28-Mar-07, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.loc.uk)
