K'nex Kärnan from Hansa Park Rebuild


Recommended Posts

Hey Guys

 

I've just finished my other K'nex ride called Turbulence and uploaded the Video of it today, but this ride is already history, because I've now started to rebuild Hansa Park's (der Schwur des) Kärnan. I haven't installed any track yet, but the tower has already reached it's maximum height of 4ft. Because I now have 2 weeks of holidays this coaster should be completed soon.

 

Now a few photos:

Piece by piece, the tower is growing

And done

Some base structure. The next things will be the station (behind-) and the heart-element (before the tower)

This evening I've made the base for the station and put in some track in the station, the pre-lift part and the lifthill. The lifthill is now completed and working. Also the backwards freefall works well too.

 

Now some pics:

I've continued working on it and the heart-element is now almost completed. But, there is a BIG problem! I'm almost out of blue rods and I still need a lot of them for the rest of the layout! So that means I need to order some more and wait till they arrive here, what probably won't be happening till after my holidays...

Anyway, I don't just have some photos for you, also a test run video:

So, the new set arrived on Tuesday, but I didn't had a lot ot time to continue, due I wasn't at home. Tomorrow I'm also not at home, but over the weekend I should have a lot of time!

In case of constructing, I've enlarged the base and added a curve.

 

Now two pics:

So, I'm now almost finished with the airtime hill, so I've done that, the s-turn and the following 180 degree turn. Additionally I've moved the 2nd booster, otherwise the speed wouldn't be enough, even with the 3rd booster.

 

Now a few photos:

Haven't been doing a lot the last few weeks due school and over easter I wasn't at home, but I have finished trackwork! But I still have to do some more supporting to the tracks, that the track is stronger and the car can make it thru the layout...

 

A few photos:

After a long time again an update!

Sorry that I didn't made any updates, but school was very busy the last few weeks.

Due the 3 car train didn't run that well, I went back to the 2 car train and it runns well, except the reverse freefall on the lift, there I need to do something.

While I was testing, there occured an ACCIDENT!! Well the front left wheel assembly of the back car derailed, because the track was crushed due it was a small curve which I made with straight track and the booster crushed it too. I've now replaced the straight track with a curved track, and it works now but doesn't looks so great

 

I'll probably film it this weekend and then the Video should come soon..

 

And now 3 photos
