Homemade Snoopy Coaster / O27 project

More on Snoopy's Tender Paw Coaster project.
A Menard's track inspection vehicle has been modified with a more powerful motor due to the weight of the resin Snoopy figure by Hallmark. Now track powered (approx. 9-10 VDC from a PWM controller) with power pick-up from an old handcar chassis. The same pinion gear of the original Menard's truck motor fits the FK-130SH-09450 24 VDC motor.
(The gearing of the inspection vehicle resembles the common slot-car mechanism with a pinion and crown gear. If anyone from Menard's is listening, best to change the gear on the motor from a pinion-type to a worm gear, and change the crown gear on the axle to a helical gear. This will add more torque and reduce speed. Also, resin figures are quite heavy, so a hollow or PVC Snoopy figure might be a better choice.)
