Nice job so far but I dont know what to make track from. Sorry.

I know they sell copper tubing 1/8" in diameter. I'm not sure if they make it any smaller. I'm not sure if your trying to build it to some perticular scale.

u can spray paint the copper or the dowels* red and white to match.

*which ever u chose

Has anyone heard of metal coat hangers? :)

I call it Magic Wire, I keep tons of them around my house for everything, but I never have the patients to try and build a metal steel roller coaster track with it.

Um...legos?..ha i dont know.

Here is my best replication of the intamin track(I didn't paint it yet)

Its hard to get the track to bend how I want it to and it takes a really long time to make. I still need suggestions because there is no way I'll be able to make the twist and make tracks all the same size

What should I make the trains out of?

maybe small little wooden boxes you can find at a craft store

go too a hobby shop and buy the plastic tubing they use for model airplanes. they come in all sorts of diameters. look up austintown hobby in austintown ohio. they can help you

Think pneumatic tubing would work? its flexible, you can get it in red, and a smaller diameter.

As for the cares, if you start with the small boxes, you can add a little bit of patience, some careful, and construction paper to make the shape.
