Book Nooks - Another New Hobby ?

DS#2 gave me a Train for Christmas.
Well, actually he gave me a 1940's Train Carriage - that I have to build!

I haven't been able to get around to making it so decided my Birthday was a Good Day to start.


It has a moving panorama that rolls across a back window so the first thing to make is the mechanism to house a Motor.


And I learned very early in the process that it wasn't going to be as relaxing as I had thought!

Basically the entire projects is made from Wood and Rubber bands!



The Motor sits in a cradle that attaches to the top of the Gear Mechanism.



More Gears and leavers are added.

(And I start to think of better ways to photograph each section - to make a more interesting Post...)



The First Section is finished.

This sits behind the Carriage Window so you can "Watch the Scenery roll past"



Time to Take a Break and Study the next section - 

INSIDE the Carriage.
