- 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

I recommend you look to set 6497, Twisted Time Train (if I recall the title
correctly). It isn't a train, i.e. for use on rails, but it does include a few
moving bits, including a stack at the front that pops up and down as the train
is pushed along. It was on serious discount at WalMart around xmas/boxing day,
so there might be one or two still floating around. You may only need the
instruction book.
