Al Ludvigsen’s Ferris Wheel

Al Writes: This is my classic period wheel, I built it over the winter, and with much trial and error and much help from Dave Ware’s model on the website, I was able to finally complete the model without throwing it out into the snow…I added four carriages for a total of eight perfectly balanced cars to go around powered by an A47 motor and P52 ladder chain around a 72 tooth gear at the top…As of the submission of this article, I sold the model to Jack Dobrzynski, who had been interested in it since it was built. I delivered the model to his home and it fits in very nicely with his classic period collection. I doubt I will be building another any time soon!!!
