Here's a fun story, I've been around a while and I knew about the 1625 choo choo from when it was done in 2008. However, I had a student, who watched Team JVN, explain it to me ... this was the first time I understood how it worked. So, inspiration managed.


As an addendum - 1114 did not use that linkage in 2008. They used a dog released winch.
