I want to build a few trains with actual moving components. However, I'm not
sure how to get components moving other than the wheels. :) Here are some
similar examples of what I'm looking for ...
- Smoke popping up and down from a smoke stack
- A minifig on a stand that sways from side to side (left to right)
- something that sways from front to back
One of the major problems I came upon is doing this in a small area so there is
room left over for details on the train. Any ideas?
Thanks
Barbara
