1Q40.4 Train on Circular Track

[Setup Time: 10 Min.] [Current Condition: Broken]

Info

(A train moves around a circular track which is free to rotate. When started from rest, the train and track move in opposite directions. This demo is old and can be temperamental. Train set is now broken again, but there has been zero interest in this demo. Please contact me well in advance if it's something you'd like rebuilt.
