(...) I saw that last night but all of a sudden couldn't browse the rest of the folder. Anyways, it looks great! I love the classic Iain Hendry touches like the guide wheels next to the 24t. So slick. Calum (20 years ago, 2-Mar-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Thanks to the suggestion of John (to use an RCX as a counterweight), I realised this was absolutely the way to go on this Topple Tower model idea I had.
