Scratch Built Train Runs On Scratch Built Track

You may have already read earlier postings about Subhash from India. He finds it difficult to access model train supplies, and when he can, they are very expensive. So, his solution has been to make his own trains from any local materials he can get his hands on. He not only scratch builds his trains, he also stratch builds his tracks… and, best of all, they work!

This video shows a first test run of his scratch built Suburban AC/DC EMU train. Subhash’s uncle made an AC/DC adapter from a kit running from 1.5V to 12 V. He is obviously very talented and industrious.
