Uspinjaca Funicular
My interpretation of the blue ZET "Uspinjaca" funicular railway from my hometown in Zagreb, Croatia. Apparently the shortest funicular rail in the world. It connects the urban city centre with the historical upper-town. It is now a protected monument, still in operation. (more on wikipedia).
This is my first larger scale LEGO model. The tracks and upper station are supported on Technic beams. A single M motor connected to a train speed regulator runs both spools through a worm gear. An automatic switch installed under the tracks switches direction.
The cars have a hidden boat weight to decrease jittering and lower the center of gravity.
Only LEGO parts were used, including the string / cable.
