RE: Airport Station - Interactive Train Set - Nigels - 06-04-2018
Hi Super,
Well the extra set finally turned up (the seller was away for a week - typical) so it was late being sent.
Here's some pictures of some of the features so you can see what its like, there is also a little (not great quality) video showing it in action
The first picture shows the on/off/on switch on the side, set to the top position this runs the picture switching constantly, middle is off, bottom is activation mode. Inside the tunnel in one of the wheel tracks there is a micro switch which is triggered when a train wheel runs over it, this sets it running to switch the image once then stop until the next activation.

Next up is a view of the rear of the tunnel showing the standard Tomy type track connector and the rear of the billboard and the battery compartment.

The next two show one of the connectors between the billboard and the tunnel, there are two plastic connectors, the one on the right (looking at the billboard) includes a power connector/socket combination that connect the billboard to the micro switch in the tunnel (quite cunning really

Finally a picture of the battery compartment, it takes 3 x AA's and as you can see is clean and corrosion free

Here's the video, in this one the mode in operation is for a train to run over an activator switch in the track which then rotates the billboard one picture.
Assuming you still want this just PM me and we can sort out shipping it over the pond

That is so cool. I wonder if I could make Ad's of my own choosing, stick it on and trim out the gaps. Maybe an ad for BluePlasticTracks
I am also thinking lights, my mind is already making plans 
PM sent.

RE: Airport Station - Interactive Train Set - Nigels - 06-06-2018
Have to admit the idea of custom adverts is an awesome one, I may have to try that myself with my one. If I come across any more I'll let you guys know on here if anyone wants one too
