Here are some pictures of those toothpick models.

Conneaut Lake's Blue Streak. Straight out and back. The only tough part i'd see with that would be the 'skunk tunnel'.

You would have to include the giant tree consuming the brake run. It would be a really fun thing to model. :)

Would the skunk tunnel include authetic smells?

Authentic smells is a frontier the modeling hobby has yet to move into. And how do you scale down a smell?

Dang those models are good, but looks like someone has to much free time. ;)

He did (obviously). But don't forget that it took about 4 years per model.

Was spending all that time on them "sad" or just a waste of "brain space"? ;)

^LOL!!!!! thanks.

And speaking of trees and brakeruns.

It always amazes me how much of that park is still standing after so long.

If he wanted to do CLP's Blue Streak, he'd have to build a model of a meth lab to go with it. Yahoos with wifebeaters and mullets would be optional.

I wonder if Walthers has a model of a backwoods meth lab? Some algae-covered trailers on cinder blocks would do nice, too. Maybe even a big pile of dirt.

^AristaCraft sells box-car kits with graffiti on them. Just don't install the trucks (wheel aasemblies) and make some tiny iron bars for doors.
It could be fun!
