Coaster Switch Track (2019)

To accommodate multiple trains on a roller coaster, a switch track is sometimes required. Unnecessary vehicles can be transferred to a maintenance bay.

The challenge of this project is in the many parts, which have to be assembled with the right margins. This drawing consists of 20 parts, which contains welded and bended profiles.

Improvements that can be made:

The connection between the concrete base and the rotating part of the track has to be revised. The gravitational forces of the train will probably unbalance the switch track.
