Mute?...More like Mu-tant Thomas LOL

Very nice work in the battery compartment and the circuit on the layout is fantastic.

Thanks Super... Yes mute Thomas because after gutting him(I got lucky that I removed the right 2 of the three batteries) poor Thomas was left unable to speak again🙂...kinda like in Planet of the Apes.lol

So... How many holes does your wall have from your "mute" thomas?

MuddyPoppins

Lol!!...zero🙂
He's never flown off the tracks..
Idk why it runs so well, but it navigates the track as well any other train...the places where it got hung up in the video are flawed by my design and consistently cause problems even for most of our standard stock trains at regular speed...I will work to fix them soon...🙂

ROCKINATOR

I'd guess the additional weight of the sound system keeps him on the tracks then.

Is the reason you used a Talking Thomas because it has a battery truck?

MuddyPoppins

Yes and the truck was just large enough to hold the 9volt...you must also hack out the right two of the three battery terminals...that's why Talking Thomas is mute now...
Done the other way and he will talk but not move..

Super

And it works out perfectly! 🙂
