I understand that we need to improve on the guideway to be able to accommodate rises and drops of 17 degrees. Here I have suggested three methods to accomplish this drop. Method 1 uses a long guide way piece that is bent and gradually decreased downward for a smooth drop. Method 2 uses two unbent pieces with a filler piece that is welded to both unbent pieces to connect the guideway. Method 3 is similar to method 1, however it uses 2 pieces that are welded together to create the drop. I feel like method one is most reasonable because it allows for a continuous guideway from start to finish of the rise and drop. This is a rough idea that needs further exploring and forces, torsions, friction losses, bogie surface area contact and other crucial data has not been considered.
