BIG WHEEL

Not one of my best models and suffers from being difficult to transport (the wheel doesn’t come off!) the 8 cars rotate as the wheel revolves (built in sick bags?). It’s driven through a pulley and chain drive to a large gear ring from an old video motor. There is a multi-segment slip ring on the back to give a changing lighting pattern when running. As described and illustrated in Constructor Quarterly No 30.
