I can see a train motor every other car, but I presume the red wheels then are
BBB wheels, and the feature drive is taken from the axle? I've got a piggy-back
train that gets its drive from half-bushes with minifig car tyres, suspended
between the wheel sets of a bogey. The bogey pivots about a vertical axle
drive. Is the ferris wheel a similar arrangement?
I'd love to see more pictures of this train. I've tried to do an animated
dragon, but it can't get enough power from rolling wheels and a technic motor
slaved from the train motor is similarly weak. I think my only option is a
battery box and a separate motor.
