Actually, I just fixed the tooth-plates off center for easier construction
(and I don't have enough of Jumpers anyway). By using the technic gear 24
tooth crown, I have enough contact with the plates.

I think that you have a good view of the track here:

I will add an other one for you...

There is no bogies. I don't know how to make the cog track on curves so I
decided to make just a straight version therefore I thought there is no need
for bogies. But the main reason is that that would make the train not stable
enough and the gear would jump over the cog track. I tell you, that train is
quite eavy with the battery and on such a steep angle, it has to be rigid. I
just mounted the wheelsets on the technic frame. Sorry to dissapoint you ;~)
And I will add an other one for you also...
Thanks for your links. I was never in Russia and I never thought that they
also had funicular there. I guess I learn something everyday.
Thanks a bunch,
JM
