Love the pictures! so many details but to start--love Charlie Brown in the tree with teh kite string :). As well, the mini train is exceptionally cool!

All around, wish I had made it down.

Thanks muchly. I’ve found Charlie Brown doesn’t work as well as I’d hoped. Kids are the right height to recognize him, but they don’t know who he is. The adults don’t see the detail under the tree, and it seems no one under 40 knows who Charlie Brown is, let alone recognize the kite eating tree.

I was trying to model the ride on train up in Windsor Nova Scotia, the Trecothic Creek and Windsor Railway (T.C.W.R.). Next step is to try to motorize it. Has anyone out there tried anything that small? I’m thinking a micromotor, but I’ll have to change the wiring to connect directly to a 9V battery, rather than a battery box (still be large).

Take care,

Dave
