I have been having trouble with my roller coaster trains not making it through the whole circut. I have 2 trains and I train made it and the other one didn't. So I took a rag and sprayed Pledge funiture cleaner on it and wiped my coaster rails with it to make it more slippery. It does wonders. Now that both make it around better than ever. I do it now once a month and highly recomend it.

Make sure to keep your track as smooth as possibly. If the track is rough, turns not banked well, or if the track is too tight in spots, the train will loose energy and not go as fast. As many have said before, make your track a B&M, not an Arrow.

Before going on to make a super coaster try building a few smaller coasters first. By doing this you can get to know how to build the supports and other basic skills needed to build a more complex coaster.

The trains will slow down quickly compared to a real coaster. To help this try putting WD40 on the axels of the cars (not the wheels or the track). Also make sure to add as much support as possible to the track. Letting it bend when a train goes over it will make the train loose speed.

When building supports for a turn remember that the train will create force on the outside of the track. To keep to turn sturdy put supports on the outside of the turn or attach the turn to a larger structure like the lift hill.

I find that it is easiest to build the lift hill first and then go from there. This makes sure that the train can make it over all the elements you put in.

If you don't have many support pieces try making the coaster as copact as possible. By doing this you can use the same sections of supports for different sections of track.

When banking the track don't bank it too much in too short a time. I usually go from flat to 45 degrees in in the length of a long gray rod. You could make it shorter but don't make it so short that the train looses speed.

When building a straight section of track such as the lift hill you can use stiff rods in place of the flexible ones. This will give the track more support and it will save your flexible rods.

If you run out of the pieces that you splice the track with don't loose hope. You can use anything about the same size and stiffness such as a small twig or a toothpick.
