That's a good idea. I made the roof lift off easily, but since the clock
was in the middle of the layout nobody could look inside anyway. Maybe next
time we can put it closer to the outer edge of the layout somehow. >>sound
of gears grinding<< Have to give that some more thought. Good thing I have
a whole two months before the next show-- luxury!!!
Having an extra mechanism on hand for closer inspection would be a good
idea, too. I'll have to think of a way to build one that puts the guts on
display. It is pretty cool to watch it run.
