Well, actually he gave me a 1940's Train Carriage - that I have to build!
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!
The First Section is finished.
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.

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.
