Now all it needs is propulsion!

How about a magnetic linear accelerator to keep with the theme.

It would only work for short trips, and would need to be reset for each run,
but it would still be cool. I don't know if the Lego magnets are very
powerful, but that can be solved by just adding more to the chain.
