Small Animated Project (Short video and pictures)

That is really cool!  Great idea. 

Alex,

What a great idea, so nicely done!!!!!

Thanks for posting,

Alex

Really Neat! now the Thousand Dollar question is where did you get the sound module, motors, and belt?

Thank you, guys! It was fun building it.

The sound module came from eBay, the motor from Pololu Robotics (available elsewhere also), and the timing belt and pulley from McMaster-Carr.

Very good Alex  

The animation is great! Nice job! Terry

You must be a fun guy to know in-person because that clever and enjoyable project says you have a wonderful sense of play. Very nice, indeed.

This is fantastic Alex, looks like we need to come back up to Wright City and check out your new additions to your wonderful layout....also maybe eat some pie. Tell Judy we said hi. Stay safe and warm.

Nashville meets model railroading! 

Clem, Terry, Frank, Roger -

Thank you for your comments!

Yes, Roger - I have added a few things since you were here last, so coming back is a must.

That is pretty neat!

Ken, Johnny -

Thank you - much appreciated!

When we have guests, that is one of the operating accessories that gets a lot of attention.

Alex

Wow!! That is cool!

Very cool Alex. I always liked the Wabash Cannon Ball. 

Thank you, guys!

Yes, and the song (Wabash Cannon Ball) is readily recognized by most adults. Younger kids usually are not familiar with it.

Beautiful work!  Superb job of engineering, but . . . in the interest of "authenticity" - Jug Band Music

Pete

Really Nice!!!!!!

That was a Great idea!! Now that's what I say, thinking outside the box!! Super job Alex.

If I had it, the band would play the Rock Island Line, by Johnny Cash or Lead Belly

That is a great accessory.  Nicely done and explained.

Pete, Steve, RI, DP -

Thank You!!

One thing to remember is that you can record any song (or portion), and play it back. I recorded a couple different ones, one by Johnny Cash, and played them for a while.
