CHAIR LIFT SKY RIDE (VERSION OF A SKI LIFT)
Posted by D-H TRAINS on Saturday, March 2, 2013 7:29 PM

I AM ATTEMPTING TO BUILD A SKY RIDE OVER MY CARNIVAL.  I HAVE WINTER SCENCES BUT AM ALSO NOT SURE IF I LIKE THE SKIERS RIDING BACK DOWN THE SLOPES.  I DISMANTLED AN OLD PRINTER AND AM GOING TO USE THE PRINTER MOTOR WHICH I HAVE ALREADY HOOKED UP TO A LIONEL 80 WATT TRANSFORMER TO MAKE SURE IT WORKS.  THE SPEED SHOULD BE PERFECT. I AM COLLECTING THE PARTS  I NEED, SLOWLY BUT SURELY.   IT WILL BE NO SMALL PROJECT, FOR SURE.

Please turn off your CAPS LOCK. All caps is harder to read and on the internet it's considered yelling.

But, it's OK to be excited.

I think it's a great idea, and a nice way to get around the ski lift quandary  of skiers riding down, or only a few chairs on the whole lift.

It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.

By the way, the ski lift was invented by the Union Pacific RR.

Modeling little tiny skiers realistically SCHLOOOSHING down the slopes would be even more difficult...
