   Hey train fans,

My latest creation. A train that lays out track as it goes.

See gallery for all pictures and movies

The principle is extremely simple: A pile of tracks slides on the previously layed out tracks, pushed in front of the train. The lowest track piece will fall off the edge and continue sliding on tiles until it hits a stop brick that will keep it in the correct position. The gap between tracks is one stud, which is small enough for the train to pass. The train uses the RC train base.

Be sure to check out the movies. It looks pretty cool when the train runs.



All comments are welcome

Very Impressed! The mere fact that it works as good as it looks had me drooling. Then seeing it do it at that speed, that simply killed me! Great work! I am very very impressed and might I add, humbled.
