Every time I copy and paste, something goes awry...

Thats some DKS level sh!t right there.

[learmoia]

.... Almost.. DKS would have added lights and a functional V6 engine.
 

That IS Amazing!!!...   

And I can barely apply a decal straight..

Unbelievable.  Amazing how talented (and patient) some folks are.

12 years ago, in  this thread  DKS posted a link to a website showing a radio-controlled N scale VW bus. Unfortunately that website is gone.

Here is the video Simon found:

If I was serving a life sentence in jail, only then would I give it a shot!  WoW!

[Angus Shops]

Yeah, but it sounds awful...

[learmoia]

It looks like they are doing some HO and N scale stuff too..

What, no working taillights?  What a piece of crap.

Seriously, I found this brilliant, and also charming!  The home-made micro "lathe" he built to turn down the wheel to a hub and then put a rubber tire on was stunning.  The delicate moving parts for the steering pivot - WHOA!   I really love this kind of hands-on precision model building.

So now, let us consider... it is clearly possible to make a 1:150 car move and steer with a hand-made mechanism.  Would there ever be a market for something like this, commercially made, and push the size down just a bit more to 1:160.  We could have independently running vehicles on our N scale streets.  Someday...

N scale Astin Martin DB5, N scale country estate house, nice N scale garage, and a country lane on a hollow core door. and frankly I think I could give up the crates full of locomotives and passenger cars and the pretense that I will ever build the big passenger depot or the basement full of layout.

Then it would be more fun driving/racing the cars on the streets of the layout than running the trains.

And I'm feeling all that when I manage to solder speaker wires onto a decoder!

Seriously....this is on a level unlike I've ever seen before. Incredible!

Working Trackmobile?  It would actually have more room in it.
