Loving this little build, great job.

Looking forward to seeing the atomiser setup and sound board.

I was wondering if someone was ever going to do a build with that case.
looking great!

Tidy!

Does that actually move? I see they have a version with a motor.

Indeed it does.

The motor sits near the front wheels and originally the power was supplied to the motor from a battery pack on the back of the carriage. Direction was controlled by a huge clumsy switch on the floor of the carriage.

It came with 6 lengths of track, each about 48cm long.

I am going to use just 4 of the pieces of track to span our spare bedroom at eye level or slightly lower.

I have also replaced the direction switches with an Arduino Nano powered IR setup, this will be installed shortly.

I haven't quite decided how to replace the battery pack yet, am unsure whether I can grab the current required from the computers power supply safely.

I'll see if I can snap a few piccies to explain the above a bit easier.

Thanks for the interest chaps.
