BrickWild Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 I have just came up with the idea of building a stage lighting gantry out of straight/curved roller coaster track (as seen on 70922 Joker Manor for example) https://brickset.com/parts/6210815/rail-13x13-1-4-circle-w-3-2-shaft I wonder if anything with a 'clip holder' (e.g. 4085 https://brickset.com/parts/design-4085) can attach to the central cross-members between the rails?

Johnny1360 Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 (edited) Why yes, the clip holder piece clips on the cross members quite well. I believe one of the new Speed Champions set actually uses several of the curve track pieces to do exactly what you describe in fact. Edit; Clips will also fit on the rail part nicely as well.

Capparezza Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 I guess that's the set @Johnny1360 mentioned above, 75889 Ferrari Garage: They haven't used any clips for the finish line, it is constructed with plates and hinges, have a look at the instructions here: https://www.lego.com/biassets/bi/6228865.pdf Quote
Lyichir Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 The New Elementary review of the Joker Manor confirms how clips can be attached to the rails: http://www.newelementary.com/2017/11/70922-joker-manor.html Quote
fred67 Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 While that's cool and all (and I'm not being sarcastic - looking forward to the ubiquitous availability of these tracks for a number of reasons), wouldn't something like this: or work better? There are several variations of that second one, and it's pretty cheap compared to the first one. I've used it for lighting (sorry, old pic, this has actually been updated with lifelights): Quote
Capparezza Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 That sure are parts best suited for anything straight or rectangular. But sometimes you need it a bit "rounder" like that rigging ring at the bottom of this: Quote
