A must watch you tube video clip

[Preseli Chris]

This is stunning , as are all the other video clips that this gentleman has uploaded ! It's a real head turner . just in case you don't notice the drivers head.

Now, that's what I call a traverser..... Or is it a turn table? Or...... !!

I saw an earlier video with the driver's head mechanism, reminded me of a more subtle version of Steve's turning driver animation. From another thread:

Don't need a sound system?

I suppose you could animate the driver's arm, to ring a bell?

Not as silly as it sounds. I once made a small centre cab with the driver and lights that were directional.

However I don't think I've ever seen a planetary turntable before! And the smoke effect is nice too. There's a lot of cleverness going on there and that's not even getting started on the scenery.

Another short video by Giles describing the purpose of his turntable(s) and showing the method of operation.....

[Peter Butler]

Another video from Giles, this time how to create 'smoke' chuffing in time with wheel rotation.....



Plenty more wonderful ideas available on a series of short videos by Giles.

[Lonsdaler]

These are fascinating ideas, but I found the audio is difficult to listen to. I've viewed them with the sound off and captions enabled.

My apologies Phil. I contracted long Covid, which has left me with some significant cognitive issues - particularly around short term memory
