Some wooden roller coaster models.
More wooden roller coaster models, with building instructions.
Even more wooden roller coaster models.
Working wooden roller coaster models, with videos.
Someone else, working on an N-Scale roller coaster, points out why the working models don't quite look right.
"I had learned something about gravity that we all kind of intuitively and covertly know, but now the concept was very overt and staring me in the face: In order for a roller coaster to act appropriately in a 1/160th scale (N) model, it would need 1/160th scale speed, and in order to get that it would need 160th scale gravity..."
His final model is really strange looking; way too tall with lots of bunny hops.
