You're a braver man than I.
As I think about it, though, that's a totally cool idea! Imagine if you could
get it to be some sort of automated hopper delivery system... Put a trigger on
the side of the train that opens up the hopper as it goes past, and then hook
that up to a mechanism with a LONG horizontal ramp to catch the candy as it gets
dispersed. If done properly, you could probably get it to deliver without
derailing or disturbing the train.
