I saw something a while back where someone had train tracks running under the
layout that would drag vehicles around roadplates using magnets. Dunno if
that was Steves.

That’s the one.

I’ts a fantastic setup anyway--any animation to a layout is great fun. I
have a few things more in mind for this one.

His has the advantage of being a much simpler drive system than yours, but the
gear system looks like it could be less troublesome in terms of following
complex paths. I’m guessing it’d have trouble dealing with two-way traffic,
though, unless you put the inner chain on a slightly higher level than the outer
chain so the large gears can overlap a bit.

Oh, and OBB is Ontario Brick Builders--is an all-encompassing thing for
AFOL’s in Ontario--‘cause there’s lots of AFOLs around but they aren’t part
of any particular organization.

I thought RTLT was an all-encompassing thing for AFOLs in Ontario...even though
it would appear to be, on the surface, just for Toronto builders.
