Looks like inspiration to build a funicular (the same thing but intended to
go up and down hills). Of course, to do that (Im always thinking in LTC
display mode) requires a hill to go with it.

Thats a good idea!! This would require two wagons for balancing: one going up
while the other is going down. Alas!! I will never have enough bricks to build
the hill!! :o(

I didnt see whether you had an active mechanism to maintain cable tension or
just did a very careful job setting the cable length?

No there is no mechanism to maintain the cable tension. I tought about it do,
and note it as a TO-DO to improve in the info.txt
The cable was just a pain to adjust but it works very fine. I also installed two
ruberbands in the wheels to increase the grip.
Thanks for your remarks,
Chris
