The box car






I finally got the train to work along the track. Some issues still remain, the weight of the car is a bit heavy for the motor. I am looking into stronger motors, and modifying the train car assembly to be lighter . The train is just a box car right now, but serves as a starting point for the train to adapt to the new characteristics of the voids above and below. As switching devices are added to the train, the movement of those switches and the interaction with the model will be a guide for the trains modifications.

The substrate will be a continual process, as pieces are cut, i will add as necessary. My intent is to start playing with the completed spaces and work my way towards incomplete sections.
