I LOVE this!

Looks like a great reproduction. Hope it runs better than the youtube POV. In the youtube POV, it seems like it is struggling to get through the layout and at some parts it screeches like an old train. Do you have a video of yours that you could post?

Here is the youtube POV that I am referencing:

Isn't that the one with an onboard Break-Man? If so you can blame him for that ^^

No, it is a regular wooden coaster train.

Yes actually, I believe it is. One of the old-fashioned side-friction coasters that requires a breakman on board.

It maybe side friction, but no brakeman.

It has a brakeman. I've seen it. [wink]

It is one of only two remaining roller coasters where a 'brakeman' is required to ride with the train, to control its speed as there are no brakes on the track.

Sorry, I stand corrected. I just found another Video that shows this.

In my opinion, he uses the brake a little too much.
