Here is a short vid of "phase two" of my "moving moc" Micro Train Layout from
our last show.

This layout features many souvenir micro sets (three Brickfest, a Brick World
one, and a BrickVention one), and a few stock Lego sets. It also has many micro
MOCs I created plus a moving train, cable cars, windmill, and gristmill.

In "phase one" I ran a custom (John Barnes) Micro train on n-scale Track and it
was displayed at the last Brickfest. This second attempt was to create and all
Lego solution, and in hindsight I have no clue why I used tread links for the
cable car instead of string, which would have been a cheaper and more elegant
solution.

I am currently in "phase three" of this project where I will use this hindsight,
as well as add a new solution for a subway train, for our upcoming show.

Janey,

Very cool--you give me inspiration for my first microscale project that's coming
up in the near future...  and for the record, I like the chain-drive sky car...
