PG52 Lego Telepherique - Feat of Engineering

[DrJB]

I stumbled upon this on a French site. Rather fascinating by my book. It's a cable car system with fully working gondolas. Have a look!

Nice find! I would like to see more of the mechanism.

And what about the orange snow groomer at the end?

Do you have a link?

[Meatman]

That is really neat.

I found another cool video from that event showing many more Technic models. WOW!!!

Too bad that the video doesn't show more. The acceleration/deceleration mechanism looks and seems to work just like the real thing. Same goes for the decoupling.

But it looks great.

Do you have a link?

Very nice MOC, but I get motion sickness from the video... :-)

PG52 is the same French AFOL who brought us the Spirograph. This is a very talented young man.

[Gee]

That is very very cool!

[skriblez]

People are so creative! I do wonder where my creativity has gone these days :(

[Rishab N]

Looks great and its unique too!

[PG52]

I'm very happy you like my gondola !

Here is the last video at Fana'briques 2013 :

If you want to see it in details, you can watch the other videos in this playlist :

Some of them show the 7th version nearly finished (90%) with still big problems, unfluent run, etc.

The ropeway is here running at its best. However, some problems sometimes happened and I plan to build a 8th version which would correct them :)

Well done PG52. The use of the tread links is inspiring (thinking around corners). A close up shoot of the rope coupling/decoupling mechanism would be great.

[PG52]

Thanks ! I don't have any picture of the mechanism in the final version but this video shows very well how it works :

Really nice, I even like the colours
