    Roller Coasters

    Thanks. I fully understand the science, in fact I only have room for a little more than half a coaster. So mine will have a batch of cars glued mid way down a hill. I'm hoping to set it in a corner around a trolley loop.

    some pictures from my Dioramas

    The natural light enhances all of you work to the point that at first glance I thought the site was the real thing. Such a devotion to detail must be a great gift. (I rarely comment, and mostly admire all of the work everyone presents, but this one caught my eye)

    Brass Track
