this is another design, but it works as good as trainman's one.
it's not invented by me, but by kagekumo, but i never saw an instructable of it.

well, it needs lots of orange connectors, but it works really good and it can be bended in all directions and it sounds nice.
this is a solution for when you don't know how to connect awsome elements.
