I built a couple of carni model rides (carousel and small Ferris, from IHC I think). Later changed the regular motor for the "deluxe" motor which still went way too fast. I think a pulse motor controller might help slow it down. Or I could put astronaut helmets on the people riding it ...
Here's the motor controller (MPJA is THE lowest prices for all lot of electronic things!)

I strongly recommend you request their catalog: mini-DPDT toggle switches $1.10; parallel printer 10' cable $1.25. Enough said.

I happen to like the roller coaster. I think it would be neat to have on a layout especially with little twinkly lights lol

Hey guys I just want to know if any of you guys model the Circus or carnival scenes? I do not but I have a huge real estate that is not developed yet and I am going to my favorite local auction where there will be some carnival rides. Now I particularly do not want a carnival but I am sure others will be pleased. My whole point in buying this Lot of HO stuff is going to be to sell the majority of it on ebay and to give some of it away for free on here rto you guys if they do not sell as I always plan on doing. Take a look at this link to the auction and you will see the exact ones i will be bidding on and buying. I always win them because there is 120 people at most at this auctiona nd no one ever gives a crap about Train stuff. So I get all train stuff for cheap cheap! Click this link and the HO scale stuff is about half way down the page. Then click the picture. There is always more stuff there than pictured too.
Click this link and click onto todays auction and scroll halfway down

I will let you gus know how much I get this stuff for tonight. It starts at 5pm for viewing and bidding starts at 6pm. I have been going to auctions for about three months because I am trying to start a good buying selling business. I want to not have to work any overtime and have money always in play. I am a business man and I like to do business.
