These are leftover parts from an RC airplane.  They attach to a servo pushrod and hold it in place to the aircraft.  If I add some shrink tube, what could we use them for on the train layout?

I obtained this fine fellow a few weeks ago in a bag of people I purchased from Trainz.  He looks like he's trying to throw a frisbee.  But the item in his hand is not round.  In my initial look at this character, he appeared to be in a different action pose.

Now comes the fun part.  Find something to make out of that leftover hardware.  How about a skateboard?

Look at him fly down that hill.  His friend on roller skates (also in the bag of people) has second thoughts and just waives.  Hopefully not goodbye forever.

Your van has a really good transmission too with the hill it's conquering, I think!

Thanks Dave, 

I was considering putting this on the "Do your Upper and Lower levels connect" thread.  My son and I were agonizing for a while how cars could get to and from the upper level.  We came up with some complex ideas that would take a lot of space, time and effort.

Then I did this.  Just moved a building, put in the grade and said, Done... pretend it's San Francisco.

Have Fun!
