Project Finding "Nory" (Dory + Nemo) build/custom

[ripley802]

Very neat trains. Is the clear plastic cover suppose to simulate an aquarium do you think?

Thanks Super. Yeah I think that was their goal, but I wish it was attached. It just seems like something that could easily get lost or broken bee easily.

Another update. Well the other day while out "Yard Sale-ing" I walked past a small toy, and dismissed it as junk. I then invisioned something and thought I may be able to use it. It was very dirty and needed a good bath. I asked the lady how much and she said $2, so I figured what the heck. In fact even if I don't use but one character it was worth it because I paid $2.88 each for the blind bags mentioned in the first post.

So here is what it was..

My thought was to use the characters as first. Then I realized it has sound, moves, and is overall pretty cool. Here are some pics after I have disassembled it.




And here are the guts.


Now my goal is to somehow either build a base and mount this on with a switch, or what I would love to do is incorporate this into a "stop and go" style track or have pressure activated switches so when the train passes it activates a sound or action..

So, any thoughts on what to do? Please share. Thanks.
