It’s rare I get to use the ‘Technic’ category but when good technical design appears on a train even Technic-challenged me can appreciate it. Esben Kolind gives his commuter train a whole lot more fun with working doors and, as though that wasn’t impressive enough, a sliding step. And he does all this on a well detailed six-wide train. Incredible only begins to describe my feelings.
Thanks to Tim David for the link.
I watched the sliding doors, and thought, “Wow, that’s really cool.” Then the step. “Awesome!” Then I noticed the flashing lights when the doors are opening! I grinned. Following that, I saw the headlights. “Neat.” Finally, the overhead lights!
This train goes to 11! The features just kept coming.
^ Damn. “This train goes to eleven!” would have been a much better title.
The door opening sequence mirrored the dropping of my jaw.
This is one of the most amazing model trains that I have seen.
Brilliant!
I have only dreamed of building such a mechanism. This is artfully done in all respects.
