We at the TCLTC have a Thomas the Tank Engine area of our layout, and so when
we found out that there were going to be a few new Thomas characters
released, we naturally got excited. The new characters are
Cranky and
Harold, and we
thought it would be fun if we could animate them (Okay, Ross thought that
would be fun). So, that is what he did:
A slight modification was necessary to make Harold’s propeller spin, and
that was to d-d-d-drill
a hole through the
pin on his roof. Ross took it from there. He simply used a 9 volt battery
with a snap attachment (?) and
spliced it to a
LEGO wire, and connected it to a LEGO motor. Simple! The motor, which is
spinning the blades directly without gearing down, makes a nice noise and
generates convincing, high speed RPMs. The spinning blade pics such as
this are NOT
Photoshopping, but taken with a shutter speed of 1/60 of a second for the
blurring effect.

That’s a very neat mod, well done!
Well that element isn’t really new,
but the Cranky set looks pretty cool too. I think some of my friends’ kids might
be getting those sets when we finally see them here.
