I've played with Rick's solution first hand and I think it is one of the most elegant solutions out there. Ricks' writeup doesn't give himself enough credit for his ingenious design. I especially like how the spear piece is fitted in the slot in the (...) (22 years ago, 8-Jun-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I love this design, but I shudder at the thought of how difficult it would be to assemble all of those curved slopes. I think I have a grand total of one (from the Star Wars set with Yoda). Bruce (22 years ago, 7-Jun-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I wonder if a train could be made that wouldn't tip over in any curve. You'd have to use some heavy duty tilting method, but still it would be tough to engineer. Sounds like something I'll have to add to my list of things to make. jt (22 years ago, 7-Jun-02, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.trains)
