Rail Zeppelin 1.wmv

[bobbyd2721]

The rail zeppelin is powered by an old Marx Southern Pacific 6000 motor. The prop is powered by a 9VDC mini motor by Radio Shack. I had to use a bridge rectifier to convert it to AC to work with the track's power.

Does the propeller actually propel the model or does electricity to the wheels power the train?
